Where to catch exceptions in a MVC framework - spas426982 - 07-20-2023
Everyone talks about how important exception handling is. I have never had the need to handle them until recently:
try {
$pdo = new PDO($dns);
} catch (Exception $e) {
throw new Exception($e);
}
Another more general example would be:
if ($something) {
throw new Exception('Ouch! I can't do that!');
}
After a little online research, I found that many examples/solutions online simply echo them. (

)**Question #1:** Where should I catch exceptions; in the Model or Controller of a **MVC**ish framework?
**Question #2:** What should catching it do? Log it, email it, display 503?

I am a .net guy and for me best practices for catching exceptions:
- Catch it as late as possible.
- Write a common code to catch exception.
- Catch it at controller level and log it somewhere with complete stack trace (ETW, Log file, DB etc.).
- Redirect user to some good looking error page. Only controller can do this.
