Re: Exceptions: How much is too much.

Thanks. Does anybody else have any input? Not to be pushy, but I'm in the middle of programming a framework for a site. - Craige On 1/5/07, Paul Scott <pscott@uwc.ac.za> wrote:

I mean, if I'm using Exceptions for all of my error handling, I could easily end up wrapping my entire script in a try block(or at least having almost all my end-code within a number of them). Not sure if I am doing it correctly either, but, what I do is use try/catch blocks to instantiate all of the objects that I need and then let the script take over. I also use exceptions to handle SQL errors in my db abstraction object(s). That way, only real messes are caught and the script then displays a graceful exit page to the user instead of screen vomit that may scare them off. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/uwc2006/content/mail_disclaimer/index.htm
