do nothing if error - just skip it....

[jrahma]

Hi,

I am using the followijg code to send sms using twilio. I want to know how can I tell the php to just skip and do nothing if error message but continue to the. I tried return and exit but it's stopping the entire process.

try
{
    $sms = $client->account->sms_messages->create
    (
        "[phone]", // From this number
        $member_mobile, // To this number
        "Welcome to XoomPage. Your actication PIN is " . $activation_pin
    );
}
catch (Services_Twilio_RestException $e)
{
    // $error = $e->getMessage();
    return;
}

Right, that should make sense since you're telling PHP to either [man]return[/man] out of the current loop or [man]exit[/man] the current script, respectively. If you don't want PHP to do anything if an error occurs, why put anything in the catch statement? (Otherwise, you can be explicit and use something like [man]continue[/man].)

I tried this with continue but it's still catching the error and displaying it when user enter invalid phone number for example

        try
        {
            $sms = $client->account->sms_messages->create
            (
                "[phone]", // From this number
                $member_mobile, // To this number
                "Welcome to XoomPage. Your actication PIN is " . $activation_pin
            );
        }
        catch (Services_Twilio_RestException $e)
        {
            // $error = $e->getMessage();
            continue;
        }

Have you verified that this happens in this particular catch block by say, adding

echo "I'm really inside that catch-block right now!";

[jrahma]

yes it is happening and I am getting the echo.

And how does the new output relate to the one you claim to have here

Because I can assure you there is no output in the code you presented here
