Exceptions thrown in the C++ parse XML methods are not being properly handled in PHP. Therefore users cannot use try catch blocks to recover from failures. If the following fails to find the file books.xml

$input = self::$saxonProc->parseXmlFromFile("data/books.xml");

PHP script crashes as follows:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'SaxonApiException'
  what():  std::exception
Aborted (core dumped)
