Try method in php does not work

Very Happy Hello everyone

I used this code
Code:

<?
require ('functions.inc');
try{
DisplayRecordTable();
}
catch(Exception $e)(
echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>


But it does not work. Does anyone know why it gives the error message

Parse error: parse error in c:\phpdev\www\testing\dtable.php on line 3


Thanks

The exceptions-mechanism is only available in php5. Most likely you have a lower version of php running on your computer...

hi,

<?
phpinfo();
?>

this way you will find what version of php you are using

Code:
<?php
echo phpversion();
?>


Simplest code Rolling Eyes.

Frihost uses php4, so if you are trying to do that code on Frihost, it will not work.

I was wondering, since you are a modarator, can you be able to speak kindly to Bondings and ask him to upgrade to php 5 please.

I do not want to change the code in all my pages since they are very many and I do not want to mess everything else as I am not too comfortable with my php skills.

Is there another alternative to the try and catch method in php 4.

Please help me out here

Thanks in advance. Confused

PHP5 will break lots of scripts and almost all hosts still use PHP4.

A nice debate is located here.

We won't install PHP5 as far as I know, like I mentioned, phpBB will stop working..maybe even some other stuff.

So, I'm afraid you'll have to find an alternative method to use that function in php4.
