But I am looking for something to catch any error before the script bombs out.

Something like a script like this with an obvivous parse error. <?php try { bar = foo; } catch (Exception $exception) { echo "hello"; } ?> I want to know how to catch any klind of error so I can deal with it gracefully instead of crashing the CGI.
