ajax error thrown,jquery - $.ajax error cannot catch thrown exception from php - Stack Overflow

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: "functions/add_vendor.php",

data:

{

vendor_info_json : vendor_info_json

},

success:function(result)

{

alert('Successfully Done.')

location.reload();

},

error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){

alert('Error Message: '+ textStatus);

alert('HTTP Error: '+ errorThrown);

}

})

This is the jquery code I'm working on. And the following is the add_vendor.php file being called.

include_once('../models/VENDOR_DB_MANAGER.php');

$vendor_info_json = $_REQUEST["vendor_info_json"];

$DB = new VENDOR_DB_MANAGER();

$DB->connectTo('BBY');

try

{

//This ALWAYS returns false to test the code.

if($DB->insertDataToTable('mfVendor', $vendor_info_json))

{

$DB->disconnect();

header('Content-Type: application/json');

$data = json_encode($result);

echo $data;

}

else

{

throw new Exception("Error has been detected.");

}

}

catch (Exception $e)

{

header("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error");

echo "Exception occurred: " . $e->getMessage();

}

?>

Ok, That 'if($DB->insertDataToTable('mfVendor', $vendor_info_json))' part always is false to test $.ajax's error handling code. No matter what I do, error: callback is not working even if the php code throws an exception all the time.

What are the problems I'm missing here? :(
