Catch pdoexception e throw new exception e getmessage

A classic PHP error handling pattern!

Here's a breakdown of what's happening:

  1. catch (PDOException $e): This is a try-catch block that catches a PDOException exception. The $e variable represents the exception object.
  2. throw new Exception($e->getMessage()): This line re-throws the PDOException exception as a new Exception object. The message of the original exception is passed to the new exception using the $e->getMessage() method.

By doing this, you're effectively "wrapping" the original PDOException exception in a new Exception object, which can be useful for several reasons:

Here's an example of how this might look in a PHP script:

try {
    // database query code that might throw a PDOException
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id');
    $stmt->execute(['id' => 1]);
    $result = $stmt->fetchAll();
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    throw new Exception($e->getMessage());
}

In this example, if the database query fails and throws a PDOException, the catch block will catch it and re-throw it as a new Exception object with the same message. The outer try-catch block can then catch this new exception and handle it accordingly.
