From manual page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php

I'm not sure if this is just a documentation bug or whether it goes further but in the documentation regarding nested exceptions it shows that they can be rethrown but in this case it doesn't appear that way, ReflectionClass uses __autoload to attempt to load the subject and once an exception arrives it just ignores the Reflection try block which for some people may be correct because ReflectionException has lower priority of Exception with it just being extended, but still the documentation should be updated to reflect this.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
 
  function __autoload( $f )
  {
      $f = sprintf( '%s.php', $f );
      
      if ( is_readable( $f ) )
      {
           include $f;
           
           return;
      }
      
      throw new Exception( "Failed to autoload: $f" );
  }

  try
  { 
      try
      {
          $class = new ReflectionClass( "FooBar" );

          if ( $class->isInstantiable() )
          {
               return;
          }
      }
      catch ( ReflectionException $e )
      {
          throw $e;
      }
   
  }
  catch ( Exception $e )
  { 
     echo '<pre>', print_r( $e, true ), '</pre>';
  }

Expected result:
----------------
ReflectionException Object
(
    [message:protected] => Class FooBar does not exist
    [string:Exception:private] => 
    [code:protected] => -1
    [file:protected] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php
    [line:protected] => 25
    [trace:Exception:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [file] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php
                    [line] => 25
                    [function] => __construct
                    [class] => ReflectionClass
                    [type] => ->
                    [args] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => FooBar
                        )

                )

        )

    [previous:Exception:private] => 
)


Actual result:
--------------
Exception Object
(
    [message:protected] => Failed to autoload: FooBar.php
    [string:Exception:private] => 
    [code:protected] => 0
    [file:protected] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php
    [line:protected] => 18
    [trace:Exception:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [function] => __autoload
                    [args] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => FooBar
                        )

                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [file] => /home/.../public_html/Reflection.php
                    [line] => 25
                    [function] => __construct
                    [class] => ReflectionClass
                    [type] => ->
                    [args] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => FooBar
                        )

                )

        )

    [previous:Exception:private] => 
)

The Exception from the __autoload happens first and the code never reaches the throw of ReflectionException from the constructor.
