If you derive your exception classes from this Exception base class
your exceptions will be nicely shown in the builtin handler for
uncaught exceptions.
+
+ Note: The method getMessage() is a final read only access method to
+ the private proeprty message that is set in the constructor. If you
+ feel a need to overwrite the exception display then overload method
+ __toString() in your derived class or implement your own extneral
+ exception display function to accomplish your desired formatting.
+
+ Example:
+
+ <?php
+ function display_exception(Exception $ex)
+ {
+ echo 'Exception: ' . $ex->getMessage() . 'with backtrace: <pre>';
+ echo $ex->getTrace();
+ echo '</pre>';
+ }
+
+ try
+ {
+ // your code here
+ }
+ catch (Exception $ex)
+ {
+ display_exeption($ex);
+ }
+ ?>
