title: PHP Non-capturing Catches
---
# Description
Since [PHP 8.0](20201109133834-php_8_0), exceptions are allowed without
capturing them into variables[^1].
# Syntax
## Pre PHP8
``` php
try {
changeImportantData();
} catch (PermissionException $ex) {
echo "You don't have permission to do this";
}
```
## Post PHP8
``` php
try {
changeImportantData();
} catch (PermissionException) { // The intention is clear: exception details are irrelevant
echo "You don't have permission to do this";
}
```
