Question

What is the best method for catching an error thrown by a construct function in PHP?

The method I have gone for is this but I have not seen this used anywhere else so I am unsure about it:

try{
    $connection = new test(/*Some Params*/);
}catch(Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: ',$e->getMessage(),"\n";
}

Any advice much appreciated, thanks

It appears that the method I have mentioned above in my question is indeed correct.
