[Bug 1855771] [NEW] Allow non-mahara exceptions to show a bit more detail

 

Public bug reported:

When you see errors like:

[WAR] 9c (lib/errors.php:536) [ParseError]: syntax error, unexpected 'parent' (T_STRING), expecting function (T_FUNCTION)
 Call stack (most recent first):
   * exception(object(ParseError)) at Unknown:0
 
It is not obvious to where the problem is - especially if you are cherry-picking in a bunch of patches and so are not familiar with the code

With PHP Exception class there are some bits we can harness to help up
https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.exception.php

The getFile() and getLine() methods will be useful
