How to catch require_once/include_once exception?

Question

I'm trying to write code similar this:

<?php
$includes = array(
    'non_existing_file.php', //This file doesn't exist.
);

foreach ($includes as $include) {
    try {
        require_once "$include";
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        $message = $e->getMessage();
        echo "
            <strong>
              <font color=\"red\">
                A error ocurred when trying to include '$include'.
                Error message: $message
              </font>
            </strong>
        ";
    }
}

I'd tried require_once and include_once, but try catch doesn't catch the exception.

How could I catch this fatal errors/warning exceptions?

This solution (adapted from here) worked fine to me:

register_shutdown_function('errorHandler');

function errorHandler() { 
    $error = error_get_last();
    $type = $error['type'];
    $message = $error['message'];
    if ($type == 64 && !empty($message)) {
        echo "
            <strong>
              <font color=\"red\">
              Fatal error captured:
              </font>
            </strong>
        ";
        echo "<pre>";
        print_r($error);
        echo "</pre>";
    }
}
