Ok, so taking the sample code that is on the page http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.extending.php Literally, just cutting and pasting the code. When I try to throw new Exception( 'My Message' ); PHP spits out the following fatal error: Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code ]]) and the line number it dies on is the line in the MyException::__construct() where it is calling the parent's constructor. So what's going on? Is the documentation wrong? Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using PHP 5.2.9. thnx, Christoph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
