Happy Memorial Day! I have an issue with exception handling. I'm using a framework that throws a "Database_Exception" object. I was expecting catch (Exception $var) to be sufficient to catch this, but it doesn't. I have to do catch (Database_Exception $var) to make it work. I've been reading that Exception should be sufficient, since every exception object is a child class of Exception. Did this perhaps change in 5.4? I think it was working properly in 5.3, but I'm not sure. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! James -- Hi James, You would have to catch Database_Exception. It is also good practice to also always catch exception afterwards. Ex: Class Database_Exception extends Exception{ Public function __construct($message){ parent::__construct($message); } } Try{ $pdo = new PDO(); If($pdo === false){ Throw new Database_Exception("Failed To Connect"); } } Catch(Database_Exception $e){ Echo $e->getMessage(); } Catch(Exception $e){ Echo $e->getMessage(); } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
