@formal stream I recommend reading https://stripe.com/docs/error-handling first which is our detailed doc on error handling
formal stream
I need to catch a There was a problem with your transaction<br>No such subscription
but don't really know how to do this
it is because in some instances, my code looks for a subscription , and in some cases it is a invoice item
so would like to catch the no such subscription error and retrieve a invoice item
merry barn
sure but the doc I linked explains all of that
it shows all error types, how to handle them in all languages
formal stream
yes, but what i would like to know
is - already knowing that error:
No such subscription
how can I specifically look for that error on my code, so that I can then the code retrieves an invoice item instead of a subscription id
merry barn
I don't understand what you mean I;m sorry. You trigger that error by passing a bad subscription id
formal stream
I have the page open
yes
on some instances, the webhook will receive a subscription id
on those scenarios the code works
when it receives an invoice item, it catches the error and displays the error, but how can I make it so that it retrieves the invoice item
I have these catches, I suppose the one being used is invalidrequest
catch(\Stripe\Error\InvalidRequest $e){ error_messages($e); } catch (\Stripe\Error\Card $e){ error_messages($e); } catch (Exception $e){ error_messages($e); }

I am so lost
this is just really basic php logging an error
can you share a bit more code about the webhook event handler? I don't get what you mean at all this time but maybe more code will help
formal stream
ahh sorry
ok
so, I suppose:
\Stripe\Error\InvalidRequest $e
is printing:
``There was a problem with your transaction<br>No such subscription`
how can I specifically look for that error? So that my code can do something else
merry barn
but what have you tried?
I'm sorry but it seems to be the same question as your original message
what doesn't work? Did you read the explicit doc I gave you which covers all of this in details?
the code you have does error_message($e) that's it. It doesn't handle the exception, look at what;'s inside, etc. But our docs explicitly show you that in the first example on that page I linked you to try { $stripe->paymentIntents->create($args); error_log("No error."); } catch(\Stripe\Exception\CardException $e) { error_log("A payment error occurred: {$e->getError()->message}"); } catch (\Stripe\Exception\InvalidRequestException $e) { error_log("An invalid request occuurred."); } catch (Exception $e) { error_log("Another problem occurred, maybe unrelated to Stripe."); }
it clearly shows how to access that error message $e->getError()->message. It also tells you about other features like code and param

@formal stream did it work?
