In this tutorial, you shall learn how to read or get the exception message in PHP using getMessage() method, with the help of example programs.
PHP – Get Exception Message
In PHP, we can access the exception message from the exception object by calling getMessage() method on the exception object.
Syntax
If e
is the exception object, then the syntax to get the exception message from this object is
e->getMessage()
Example
In the following program, we have a division operation where the denominator is zero. We enclose this code in a try-catch statement.
The code in try-block throws DivisionByZeroError, we catch the same in the catch-block, and echo the message present in the exception object.
PHP Program
<?php
try {
$a = 10;
$b = 0;
$c = $a / $b;
echo $c;
} catch (DivisionByZeroError $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>
