php assigning exception to variable

Question

I was wondering if I can assign $e->getMessage() to a vaiable like so:

$errmsg = $e->getMessage();

I'm trying to mail() it to myself whenever an exception is caught from a try catch block and don't wanna screw up the mail body...

Sure :

$msg = 'foo';
try{
    throw new Exception('bar');
}catch (Exception $e){
    $msg = $e->getMessage();
}

echo $msg; // bar
