Exception Handling and Exception Class

[random1]

How do you create your own Exception class in PHP?

 

My base programming language is Java, I can do it in that but I'm still pretty new PHP.

 

Can you create you an Exception class that catches it's own exceptions e.g. 'CustomException cex' ?

 

Also how do I make that code available to all other pages and classes in my project?

You just extend the Exception class:

<?php
class CustomException extends Exception
{
    // custom functionality here
}
?>

 

Remember to call parent::__construct() if you override the constructor.

And parent::__destruct if you override the destructor

 

You don't need to REPLACE the exception class - just extend it. Don't re-make it's existing methods unless you need to do something totally different. If it's only a little different, you can probably still use the existing method within one of your own

And parent::__destruct if you override the destructor

 

Exception does not have a destructor...

Whoops fair enough.
