Default Error Handling in Zend Framework

Zend_Controller_Action_Exception

There’s a cool feature in Zend Framework when a controller or action doesn’t exists. That’s really useful, because you simply write an ErrorController.php in you default module and every action’s exception sends the user to this controller/action and the job is done for you. What is important here is to show the error message at least on the development stage. Actually the request stores it as a parameter. Here’s some source:

<?php
 
class ErrorController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function errorAction()
    {
        $errorHandler = $this->getRequest()->getParam('error_handler');
        /* @var $error Zend_Controller_Action_Exception */
        $error = $errorHandler->exception;
        echo $error->getMessage();
    }
}
