Perché non riesco a stampare $dns?

Codice PHP:
<?php

namespace woo\controller {

    class 
ApplicationHelper {

        function 
getOptions() {
            if (!
file_exists("data/woo_options_not_there.xml")) {
                throw new \
woo\base\AppException(
                
"Could not find options file");
            }
            
$options simplexml_load_file("data/woo_options.xml");
            
$dsn = (string) $options->dsn;
            print 
$dns;
        }

    }

    
$d = (new ApplicationHelper())->getOptions();
}

namespace 
woo\base {

    class 
AppException extends \Exception {
        
    }

}
?>

questo è l'errore:


Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'woo\base\AppException' with message 'Could not find options file' in C:\xampp\htdocs\9781430260318_Chapter_12_Code\list ing12.00.php:9 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\9781430260318_Chapter_12_Code\list ing12.00.php(19): woo\controller\ApplicationHelper->getOptions() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\9781430260318_Chapter_12_Code\list ing12.00.php on line 9
