From: hans at nyphp dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Example of Exception $e is Incorrect
Description: ------------ On the page that gives examples of how to use Exceptions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.exceptions.php The usage of catch() is incorrect in the examples. This code: catch (Exception $e) { echo "Caught exception: ", $e, "\n"; } Would echo something like: Caught exception: Object id #3 I cannot believe this is the desired output. This code: catch (Exception $e) { echo "Caught exception: ", $e->getMessage(), "\n"; } Would provide the expected output: Caught exception: Always throw this error In other words, all exception code examples with echo statements of $e should contain $e->getMessage() rather than just echoing $e.
