Resolved How to handle API fatal error?

[nethubonline]

Hi all,

According to plesk/api-php-lib , I tried example codes as below:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$host = 'testing.com';
$login = 'admin';
$password = '123456';

$client = new \PleskX\Api\Client($host);
$client->setCredentials($login, $password);

$client->customer()->create([
    'cname' => 'Plesk',
    'pname' => 'John Smith',
    'login' => 'john',
    'passwd' => 'secret',
    'email' => '[email protected]',
]);
?>

I ran the PHP and it can create customer successfully, and then I ran it again, error was shown below. As you see, above PHP code does not echo any error, and it somehow display the error automatically. May I know how I can handle the error and display it in my own way? Thanks a lot.

Fatal error: Uncaught PleskX\Api\Exception: User account already exists. in /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php:282 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php(161): PleskX\Api\Client->_verifyResponse(Object(PleskX\Api\XmlResponse)) #1 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Operator/Customer.php(23): PleskX\Api\Client->request('<?xml version="...') #2 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/test.php(13): PleskX\Api\Operator\Customer->create(Array) #3 {main} thrown in /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php on line 282

User account already exists

Is this cause of error not enough?

Thanks IgorG,

I afraid you have mis-understood what I mean. The error "User account already exists" is enough, but now it is showing too much: "
Fatal error: Uncaught PleskX\Api\Exception: User account already exists. in /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php:282 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php(161): PleskX\Api\Client->_verifyResponse(Object(PleskX\Api\XmlResponse)) #1 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Operator/Customer.php(23): PleskX\Api\Client->request('<?xml version="...') #2 /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/test.php(13): PleskX\Api\Operator\Customer->create(Array) #3 {main} thrown in /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/vendor/plesk/api-php-lib/src/Api/Client.php on line 282:"

What I want is I can detect the result is success or error, and echo only the success/error msg (e.g. "User account already exists") .

A simple thought : just include code to first check for the existence of the customer to be created - if exists, then return "error message".

You can also hook into the Plesk Api Exception and return that one message "User account already exists" - as @IgorG was trying to say.
