Why some places you use throw new Exception and other static method?

Hello guys it is just for a question that came up in our team, and the guy used this repo as example.

Do you have the initial discussion for when you decided to use throw Exception::new(); instead of throw new Exception();

and I see that some places you are using throw new and others with static method.

e.g:

• https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/cbd0e9adb46ec66f22c163e7003d0f4b2e38c8c7/src/DriverManager.php#L152
• https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/cbd0e9adb46ec66f22c163e7003d0f4b2e38c8c7/src/Driver/PgSQL/Driver.php#L42

Thank you in advance.

Static constructor methods help us standardize how we derive the exception message from given input, in your example an invalid class name.

But Couldn't you do like this too?

throw new InvalidWrapperClass($wrapperClass);

Sure.
