Peter,
you are doing something called swallowing the exception. it may make sense
for your application to
continue processing if the closeCallTracker method throws an error, but at a
minimum you should
log the details of the exception so that you know why its occurring;
something like:
try {
closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed
MyPHPLog::logMsg($e->getMessage());
}
also, i would assume processing does continue after you swallow the
exception. in order to determine
why a blank page is displaying you should follow the logic in your
application to the point where it sends
html to the client browser during a case where the closeCallTracker() method
throws an error.
