[fw-general] view->getHelper in try..catch but still getting exception

[Terre Porter]

Hi,

 

I would like to use something like this :

 

                                                                $helper =
$this->view->getHelper($helpername);

 

But I would like to confirm the helper exists. So I've tried the above but
since the getHelper only seems to toss an error instead of returning null or
something I added in this.

 

                                                 try {

                                                                $helper =
$this->view->getHelper('inoexists');

                                                } catch
(Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception $e) {

                                                                // do
something here about the error    

                                                }

 

But I still get the error:

 

Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception: Plugin by name 'Inoexists' was not found
in the registry; used paths: Zend_View_Helper_:
Zend/View/Helper/:./views/helpers/:/home/cmsdev/application/library/Core/Hel
pers/:/home/cmsdev/application/modules/default/views/helpers/ in
/home/cmsdev/includes/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 412

 

Anyone know why it is not being caught by the try block? Or a suggestion on
how to fix it.

 

Thanks
