How to catch an exception from another class method PHP

Solution
If you are catching the Exception inside a namespace, make sure that you fall back to the global namespace:
...
}(catch \Exception $e) {
...
}...

Problem
I'm having trouble catching an exception in PHP Here's my code. ``` try { require $this->get_file_name($action); } catch (Exception $e) { //do something// } ``` and the method being called ``` private function get_file_name($action) { $file = '../private/actions/actions_'.$this->group.'.php'; if (file_exists($file) === false) { throw new Exception('The file for this '.$action.' was not found.'); } else { return $file; } } ``` Resulting in: ``` Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message $action was not found.' Exception: The file for this $action was not found. ``` However If I put a try-catch block inside of the function and call the function, I'm able to catch the exception no problem. What am I doing wrong?
