Why isn't my Exception being caught by catch?

Question

I have some code that looks like this

# Try to import file
try
{
    DataManager::fileImport($_FILES[\'datafile\'][\'tmp_name\'], 
                                   


        

Answer 1

You might have an issue with your DataManager class because i copied your code, adapted it to run and i get the exception handled... You problem is elsewhere...

class DataManager {
    static function fileImport($filepath, $zones, $statuses){
        throw new Exception('SOME EXCEPTION');
    }
}

try{
    DataManager::fileImport('', '', '');
}catch(Exception $e){
    print 'Herp.';
}

Results in

Herp.
