set_exception_handler — Sets a user-defined exception handler function

Description

string set_exception_handler ( callback $exception_handler )

Sets the default exception handler if an exception is not caught within a try/catch block. Execution will stop after the exception_handler is called.

Parameters

exception_handler: Name of the function to be called when an uncaught exception occurs. This function must be defined before calling set_exception_handler(). This handler function needs to accept one parameter, which will be the exception object that was thrown.

Return Values
