PHP is not catching the errors

Question

I can't catch the error with the Exception PHP class.

<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";

use App\Events\Logger;
use Exception;
/* Alterntly id tryed to use this call but dosnt work either use \Exception as Exception; */

$logger = new Logger("error.log", "ERROR");

try {
    new DosentExist(); //I force the exception.
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "error";
    $error = new Error($e->getCode(), $e->getMessage(), $e->getFile(), $e->getLine());
    $logger->log((string) $error, "ERROR");
}

Console error:

$ php index.php
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "DosentExist" not found in C:\code\php\logs-forfun\index.php:10
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in C:\code\php\logs-forfun\index.php on line 10

If you read the error message, you'll see that it does not mention Exception, but rather mentions an "Uncaught Error". You'd need to catch an Error, not an Exception:

try {
    new DosentExist(); //I force the exception.
} catch (Error $e) {
    echo "error";
}
