Try/Catch block in PHP not catching Exception

Question

I am trying to run this Example #1 from this page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php

Answer 1

\Exception doesn't work for me but I found a solution.

I needed to replace try{}catch(Exception $e){} by try{}catch(Throwable $e){}.
