If PHP is unable to connect to your MySQL server, or if the username and password
you provided are incorrect, you’ll instead see a similar screen to that in Figure 4.7.
To make sure your error-handling code is working properly, you might want to
misspell your password intentionally to test it out.
When an exception is caught, the value stored
in that variable is actually another PHP object; in fact, all exceptions are represented
by PHP objects! Like the PDO object we have stored in $pdo, the PDOException object
has properties we can access and methods we can call.
