Why this PHP line not printing the the Error message? -

in 1 of file wrote these statements. instead of printing error message generates page normal errors.

try {             $var = 90 / 0; // error dvide 0     } catch (exception $e) {             die( 'something gone wrong');     } 

a php error not same php exception. in script, no exceptions thrown - error occurs.

you same result if install custom error handler:

<?php // install temporary error handler set_error_handler(function($error) {     die("something wrong"); });  // invalid $var = 90 / 0; // error dvide 0  // restore previous error handler restore_error_handler(); ?> 

if you're real fan of exceptions, install error handler automatically turns errors php exceptions:

<?php // install error handler turns error exceptions set_error_handler(function($error) {     throw new exception($error); });  // open try-catch block catch exceptions try {     // invalid     $var = 90 / 0; // error dvide 0 } catch (exception $exception) {     // oops     die("something wrong"); }  ?>
