PHP why doesn't catch error

[Gonzalos]

Hello I am trying to catch any error that can ocure when executes $query, but It doesn't catch the error, It just show the error on the screen, Why is that?
I am using mysqli

Code: Select all

function insertField ($query){
      try {
         $stmnt = $this->mySqli->prepare($query);
         $result = $stmnt->execute();
         //$stmnt->close();
         if (!$result)
         {
            return false;
         } else {
            return true;
         }
      } catch (Exception $e) {
          echo 'Exception: ',  var_dump($e->getMessage()), "\n";
         echo $query;
      }
   }


Thanks

Where are you throwing your exception?

[Gonzalos]

When I call the function I send a $query which is not valid

Thanks
