Zend Framework: What exception to use for “Access denied”/“unauthorized access” from ACL?

Question

i am using Zend Framework Zend_Acl i am wanting to throw an exception when the user is denied access to a resource. which exception class do i use?

Answer 1

AFAIK you don't have a specific exception for that, if that's what you're asking. Create your own exception class which extends from Zend_Exception and throw that.

Answer 2

You could use

throw new Zend_Controller_Action_Exception('Forbidden', 403);
