symfony 1.4: How to pass exception message to error.html.php?

Question

I tried using special variable $message described here http://www.symfony-project.org/cookbook/1_2/en/error_templates but it seems this variable isn\'t defined

Answer 1

I've found another trick to do that - sfContext can be used to pass exception message to error.html.php but custom function have to be used to throw exception. For example:

class myToolkit {
  public static function throwException($message) 
    {
      sfContext::getInstance()->set('error_msg', $message);
      throw new sfException($message);
    }

than insted of using throw new sfException('some message') you should use myToolkit::throwException('some message')

To display message in error.html.php use get('error_msg') ?>
