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
