throw giving error message

[joeschoe]

I an getting the following error:
PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in errtest.php on line 7

The code is a sample from w3schools:

<?php
 //create function with an exception
 function checkNum($number)
   {
   if($number>1)
     {
     throw new Exception("Value must be 1 or below");
     }
   return true;
   }
 
//trigger exception
 checkNum(2);
 ?> 
 

I am using php5 and developting on Javascripteditor

Are you sure you're using php 5.1 or above?

call phpinfo(); at the top of your file to check.

I am using php 5.2.17

I copy and pasted your code. It works as expected. A Fatal error occurs because the exception is thrown. I didn't see your T_STRING error. Check to make sure you're working with the latest code.

@dlite922
You are correct. my editor has a built in PHP checker that is not up-to-date.
Your insisting that the code is correct forced me to sharpen my pencil abit more and get to the bottom of this

Thank you for your effort.
