You could use 

throw new Zend_Controller_Action_Exception('Forbidden', 403);

AFAIK you don't have a specific exception for that, if that's what you're asking. Create your own exception class which extends from Zend_Exception and throw that.

  • can i say that such exception classes are just for the purposes for readability in code, and does nothing too different from 1 another? – Jiew Meng Aug 03 '10 at 08:37
  • readability, plus based on the type of the exception or the exception code, you can do different things in the error controller (access denied, page not found, application error, etc...). – robertbasic Aug 03 '10 at 08:59
  • with `Zend_Exception`, i can also set the code right? `void __construct ([string $msg = ''], [int $code = 0], [ $previous = null]) `. the 2nd param? – Jiew Meng Aug 04 '10 at 10:43
  • and you can catch different types of exceptions, enabling your application to ignore issues that you expect to happen and deal with yourself. – ForrestLyman Jun 06 '13 at 03:13
