Answer 1

Ricky from Twilio here.

To accomplish what you want here you'll want to introduce PHP Exception handling into your code.

  try {
    $account = $client->accounts->get("ACa89d3917a5b56ebccd*********");
    echo $account->date_created;
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
  }

If the credentials are correct this code will run as you expect but if the credentials are incorrect that error will be caught and we'll about the message related to our exception.

Hope that helps!

I had similar issue with Laravel 5.5 and Twilio SDK.

I was getting Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler handled error from \vendor\twilio\sdk\Twilio\Version.php line 85 bla bla bla after trying to catch Exception, RestException

The answer from Andres Zapata helped me go in the right direction:

catch (\Twilio\Exceptions\RestException $e) {
     if ($e->getCode() == 20404) {
         //this will be false condition
         dd('False Result 404');
     } else {
         //some other exception code
         dd($e->getMessage());    
     }
}

Answer 3

The comment above worked for me so I wanted to write it as a proper answer to help anyone else that comes across this issue. I too was missing the leading backslash in Services_Twilio_RestException, so I made it like this.

  try {
    $account = $client->accounts->get("ACa89d3917a5b56ebccd*********");
    echo $account->date_created;
  } catch (\Services_Twilio_RestException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
  }

Answer 4

add backslash in Services_Twilio_RestException like

try{
}catch (\Services_Twilio_RestException $e){
 echo $e->getMessage();
}
