Why is this PHP exception not caught?-CodePudding

I have this very simple PHP 8 code in which there is (voluntary) an error. Just to see if the exception is caught.

try {
        $school = $this->schoolRepository->insert($request->all());
        $fake = 1 / 0;
        return new SchoolResource($school);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        return response()->json('bad request' . $ex->getMessage(), 400);
    }

And surprise ! The exception is not caught. I receive the error of the division :

 {
"message": "Division by zero",
"exception": "DivisionByZeroError",
"file": "D:\\Workspace\\school-back-v2\\app\\Http\\Controllers\\SchoolController.php",
"line": 48,
"trace": [

Why is this exception not caught ?

CodePudding user response：

DivisionByZeroError inherits from Error, so you'd better catch the base interface Throwable.

catch (\Throwable $e)

CodePudding user response：

change the return response()->json('bad request' . $ex->getMessage(), 400); to return response()->json('bad request' . $e->getMessage(), 400);
