As in other object oriented programming languages, zend framework supports try catch, all exceptions thrown by Zend Framework classes should throw an exception that derives from the base class Zend_Exception.
Example 1:
In this example, code require_once “Zend_Loader.php”; is commented, so error is thrown when we are trying to access Zend_Loader.
<?php
//require_once “Zend_Loader.php”;

try
{
Zend_Loader::loadClass(’Zend_Session’);
}
catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
echo “Error message: […]

Zend_Session::start();
?>
The above example, illustrates loading the zend session class and starting the session.

<?php

$delim = (PHP_OS == “WIN32″ || PHP_OS == “WINNT”) ? ‘;’: ‘:’;

ini_set(’include_path’, “.”);
ini_set(’include_path’, ini_get(’include_path’) . “my_library”);
ini_set(’include_path’, ini_get(’include_path’) . “my_library/include”);

?>
