Exceptions: scope of use

Question

Can I use an exception as an easy way of jumping out of current context to some higher architecture layer to avoid routine return code checks (kinda if ($response['code'] != CodeStatus::SUCCESS) return null;)? The exceptions I talk about generally might mean something like invalid user account or smth, i.e it is not an emergency situation.

You may use knife to cut bread or to kill, just like with exceptions you can signal error or jump to arbitrary place upper in the call stack. I think you see analogy. — pkmiec, Oct 16 '12 at 18:32
So the question is -- is it the exception's purpose? And can I actually use them in cases that are not emergencies? Isn't it akin a goto operator? — Vadim Samokhin, Oct 16 '12 at 18:38
