Note that this does not work within an exception handler.

e.g. 

<?php

function handler1(Exception $e) {
    echo "handler1\n";
    restore_exception_handler();
    throw $e;
}
function handler2(Exception $e) {
    echo "handler2\n";
}

set_exception_handler( 'handler2' );
set_exception_handler( 'handler1' );

throw new Exception( 'might expect to see handler1, handler2' );

/* Outputs:
handler1
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'might expect to see handler1, handler2' in /tmp/demo.php:15
Stack trace:

  thrown in /tmp/demo.php on line 15
*/
