Server Upgraded to PHP7 Error: __toString() must not throw an exception

[velkymx]

ErrorException [ Fatal Error ]: Method View::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught ParseError: syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE)

Any answer? I have similar problem...

@Pantela777 Kohana is no longer maintained, so there will be no PHP7 support.

But to fix your problem if you want to update the core yourself, change the exception in the elseif to return false instead maybe.

I fixed this by changing the catch in the __toString function in system/classes/Kohana/View.php to

catch (Throwable $e)

in PHP7, fatal and recoverable errors extend a new Error class instead of of the Exception class. I found the explanation on this blog: https://www.aurigait.com/blog/fatal-error-handling-in-php-7/

-- Edited to change catch (Error $e) to catch (Throwable $e) since ErrorExcecptions were causing the toString problem with catch Error. https://trowski.com/2015/06/24/throwable-exceptions-and-errors-in-php7/
