CakePHP - Errors & Exception Handling

cakephp

CakePHP has a built-in error and exception handling system that can be used to handle errors and exceptions that occur during the execution of your application.

To handle errors in CakePHP, you can use the error method of the ErrorHandler component. This method takes an HTTP status code and an optional message, and generates an appropriate error response.

Here’s an example of how to handle errors in CakePHP:

$this->loadComponent('Error');

public function beforeRender(Event $event)
{
    if ($this->response->statusCode() === 404) {
        $this->error(404, 'Page not found');
    }
}

To handle exceptions in CakePHP, you can use the exception method of the ErrorHandler component. This method takes an exception object and generates an appropriate response.

Here’s an example of how to handle exceptions in CakePHP:

$this->loadComponent('Error');

public function beforeRender(Event $event)
{
    if ($event instanceof Exception) {
        $this->error(500, $event->getMessage());
    }
}
