Official docs is a good place to start - http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php.
If it is just a message that you want to capture you would do it at follows;
try{
throw new Exception("This is your error message");
}catch(Exception $e){
print $e->getMessage();
}
If you want to capture specific errors you would use:
try{
throw new SQLException("SQL error message");
}catch(SQLException $e){
print "SQL Error: ".$e->getMessage();
}catch(Exception $e){
print "Error: ".$e->getMessage();
}
For the record - you'd need to define SQLException
. This can be done as simply as:
class SQLException extends Exception{
}
For a title and message you would extend the Exception
class:
class CustomException extends Exception{
protected $title;
public function __construct($title, $message, $code = 0, Exception $previous = null) {
$this->title = $title;
parent::__construct($message, $code, $previous);
}
public function getTitle(){
return $this->title;
}
}
You could invoke this using :
try{
throw new CustomException("My Title", "My error message");
}catch(CustomException $e){
print $e->getTitle()."<br />".$e->getMessage();
}
