I think this kind of exception is perfect to throw when expected the  type of parameter, value etc. is good, but its value is out of domain. Look at RangeException:
>>Exception thrown to indicate range errors during program execution. Normally this means there was an arithmetic error other than under/overflow. This is the runtime version of DomainException.<<
So, this kind of exception is designed for logic error

When datatype is wrong, the better way is throwing InvalidArgumentException.

<?php
// Here, use InvalidArgumentException
function media($x) {
    switch (
$x) {
        case
image:
            return
'PNG';
        break;
        case
video:
            return
'MP4';
        break;
        default:
            throw new
InvalidArgumentException ("Invalid media type!");
    }
}
?>
This is completly diffirent situation than this:
<?php
// Here, use DomainException
$object = new Library ();
try {
   
$object->allocate($x);
} catch (
toFewMin $e) {
    throw new
DomainException ("Minimal value to allocate is too high").
}
?>
The simillar situation, but problem occurs during runtime:
<?php
class library {
    function
allocate($x) {
        if (
$x<1000)
            throw new
RangeException ("Value is too low!")
    }
}
?>
Summary: DomainException corresponds to RangeException and we should use them in simillar situations.  But first exception is designed to use when we are sure the problem is with our project, third-part elements etc. (simply: logical error), the second way is designed to use when we are sure the problem is with input data or environment (simply: runtime error).

<?php

function divide($divident, $divisor) {
    if(!
is_numeric($divident) || !is_numeric($divisor)) {
        throw new
InvalidArgumentException("Function accepts only numeric values");
    }
    if(
$divisor == 0) {
        throw new
DomainException("Divisor must not be zero");
    }
    return
$divident / $divisor;
}

Quote: "In data management and database analysis, a data domain refers to all the values which a data element may contain."

This exception has confused me a bit, DataDomainException, or DataTypeException may have been more descriptive.
