Exception handling ExchangeWebServices php-ews

Question

I use https://github.com/jamesiarmes/php-ews library to access my exchange account.

If I used correct credentials to create a ExchangeWebServices object, I get accurate response.

$ews = new ExchangeWebServices("outlook.office365.com", "[email protected]", "test123");

$request = new EWSType_FindItemType();

$response = $ews->FindItem($request);

But If the credentials are wrong it breaks the site by throwing an exception as

EWS_Exception: SOAP client returned status of 401 in ExchangeWebServices->processResponse() 

Is there any way to get the response as "failed" or some boolean value instead of the error message?

Answer 1

There's no way to get the response as a boolean, but you can do something like

$ews = new ExchangeWebServices("outlook.office365.com", "[email protected]", "test123");

$request = new EWSType_FindItemType();

try {
    $response = $ews->FindItem($request);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    //The response failed.
}

Also, that version of php-ews is out of date and unmaintained. Might I suggest you try https://github.com/Garethp/php-ews
