Tried subclassing it but did not work > too well (the filename and line were always wrong), The reason the FILE & LINE were wrong is that they are set by PHP5's Exception constructor ... So if Exception::Exception() is called by your subclass, the file & line will be set from the subclass' constructor. To avoid this just don't override the exception constructor. Use things like setCode(), setDebugInfo() instead of expanding the constructor signature. So, this will work: $exc = new SQLException(); // File & line set from this point $exc->setNativeError(mysql_error()); throw $exc; Cheers, Hans
