Catching cURL errors with PHP/Laravel

catching cURL errors with PHP/Laravel

cURL error 6: Could not resolve host laravel

Now this is cool and all, but I don't actually want it to return a cURL error and stop my program. 

I'd prefer something like this:

if (guzzle client timed out) {
    do this
} else {
    do that
}

/

Use the inbuilt Laravel Exception class.

Solution:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Exception;

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        try
        {
            $crawler = $goutteClient->request('GET', 'https://www.google.com');
        }
        catch(Exception $e)
        {
            logger()->error('Goutte client error ' . $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}
