Throwable

(PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduction

Throwable is the base interface for any object that can be thrown via a throw statement, including Error and Exception.

Note:
PHP classes cannot implement the Throwable interface directly, and must instead extend Exception.

Interface synopsis

interface Throwable extends Stringable {

/* Methods */

public getMessage(): string

public getCode(): int

public getFile(): string

public getLine(): int

public getTrace(): array

public getTraceAsString(): string

public getPrevious(): ?Throwable

public __toString(): string

/* Inherited methods */

public Stringable::__toString(): string

}

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	Throwable implements Stringable now.

I wrote a simple script that prints out the Throwable and Exception tree for every PHP version.

You can find this script here:
https://gist.github.com/mlocati/249f07b074a0de339d4d1ca980848e6a

And its output is here:

// Code that may throw an Exception or Error.
} catch (Throwable $t) {
// Executed only in PHP 7, will not match in PHP 5.x
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Executed only in PHP 5.x, will not be reached in PHP 7
}
