Error Trapping

[smartinsight-at]

I am just getting started with this toolkit.

I am trapping errors using the following. This seems to work.

                try
                {
                $contactId = $client->Create( $contact );
                }
                catch (Exception $e) {
                    echo 'ATTENTION!<br><br>'.$e->getMessage().'<br><br>';
                    exit;
                }

Is there a better way?

catching exceptions is the standard way of trapping the error. What do you do with it is totally up to you. If you have a logger wired up then the error will appear in the log as well. For example:

use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler; 

$log = new Logger( 'whatever' );
$log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://stdout', Logger::INFO));

$settings = new \AlexaCRM\WebAPI\OData\OnlineSettings();
$settings->setLogger( $log );

This will generate error information and dump it into stdout. Usually handlers created for logging into files, etc.
