In my opinion this exception is invaluable for validating arguments- for example providing strict typing a la C:



<?php

function tripleInteger($int)

{

  if(!is_int($int))

    throw new InvalidArgumentException('tripleInteger function only accepts integers. Input was: '.$int);

  return $int * 3;

}



$x = tripleInteger(4); //$x == 12

$x = tripleInteger(2.5); //exception will be thrown as 2.5 is a float

$x = tripleInteger('foo'); //exception will be thrown as 'foo' is a string

$x = tripleInteger('4'); //exception will throw as '4' is also a string



?>
