Re: Exceptions

Peter, you are doing something called swallowing the exception. it may make sense for your application to continue processing if the closeCallTracker method throws an error, but at a minimum you should log the details of the exception so that you know why its occurring; something like: try { closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId); } catch (Exception $e) { // No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed MyPHPLog::logMsg($e->getMessage()); } also, i would assume processing does continue after you swallow the exception. in order to determine why a blank page is displaying you should follow the logic in your application to the point where it sends html to the client browser during a case where the closeCallTracker() method throws an error. -nathan On 8/9/07, Peter Pan <qbfreak@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Peeps, > > I'm having an issue where throwing Exceptions are displaying a blank page > even though the Exception is being caught in a try...catch > statement.
