No Exception Class on Challenge Question 2/2 on PHP & Databases with PDO

After completing the challenge task and checking my work, I'm prompted with an error that reads: "It looks like there is no Exception class." Provided below is the code I'm using.

This code works fine on my local system; please help me to understand what is causing this error. Thank you.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$dsn = 'sqlite::memory';

try {
    $db = new PDO($dsn);
    $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch(Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit;
}

?>

Hi Jason

Your code is correct but it's only asking you for the catch() - just delete the echo and exit lines inside the catch statement and it'll work.

Hope that helps!
