httprequest exception handling php

Question

In case a request cannot be made, how can I catch the exception?

I have so far written this, but not had any luck.

$url = 'http://localhost:49000/';
//create the httprequest object                
try{
  $httpRequest_OBJ = new httpRequest($url, HTTP_METH_POST, $options);
}catch(HttpException $e){
  echo $e;
}

I had the same problem, you should make sure that the exception is in the namespace.

What I've done is:

try {
    //Request here
} catch (\HttpException $e) {
    //Handle exception
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    //Just in case
}

Also good to notice what is pointed in this article http://www.mkfoster.com/2009/01/06/how-to-pecl-http-request-exception-and-error-handling/ about the inner exception, in case you want the message returned by the exception.

Also, there is a php.ini directive that forces HttpRequest to always throw exception http://br.php.net/manual/en/http.configuration.php http.only_exceptions=1

how can I catch the exception?

To catch an exception you need to know the classname of the exception. What is the classname of the exception you'd like to catch?
