[SOLVED] throw new Exception... trouble

[unkwntech]

I have a block of code that looks like this:

function sendResponseCode($code)
{
	error_reporting(0);
	switch ($code)
	 {
                ...SNIP...
	 	default:
	 		throw new Exception('Response Code Not Implemented', '1');  //<-- LINE 11
	 		break;
	 }
	die();
}
...SNIP...
if(!DEFINED(constName))
{
	try
	 {
	sendResponseCode(404);
	 }
	catch(Exception $e)
	 {
		echo $e->getMessage() . ' on line: ' . $e->getLine() . ' of file ' . $e->getFile();
	 }
}

when I run it I am getting the following:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in ...SNIP... on line 11

What version of php are you using?

 

edit: oh, and what is the case right above "default" if you're using php 5.

[unkwntech]

Using PHP versions 4&5, and I sniped all the case's as there are quite a few, this error is coming from 5.

only php 5 has exceptions. If it's on a php 5 server causing an issue, can you show us the case right above the default one? There's no syntax problem in the ones you're showing me.

function sendResponseCode($code)
{
	error_reporting(0);
	switch ($code)
	 {
                ...SNIP...
	 	case 404:
	 		header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n');
	 		break;
	 	default:
	 		throw new Exception('Response Code Not Implemented', '1');
	 		break;
	 }
	die();
}
...SNIP...
if(!DEFINED(constName))
{
	try
	 {
	sendResponseCode(404);
	 }
	catch(Exception $e)
	 {
		echo $e->getMessage() . ' on line: ' . $e->getLine() . ' of file ' . $e->getFile();
	 }
}

Well.. there is nothing syntactically wrong with your code, and the error message you are getting is consistent with using throw new on php 4. I'd check the php configuration.

[unkwntech]

I'm gonna' beat my head against the desk for a while now.... the server I was testing on hadn't been updated for whatever reason to PHP5 so it was still running 4.4.0.

So I'll change the question is there a way to accomplish this in 4?
