How do I handle exceptions properly

Handling exceptions properly is crucial for building resilient and maintainable applications. Proper exception handling allows developers to gracefully manage errors, keep users informed, and ensure that the application continues to function even when unexpected situations arise.

Example of Exception Handling in PHP


        <?php
        function divide($numerator, $denominator) {
            if ($denominator == 0) {
                throw new Exception("Cannot divide by zero.");
            }
            return $numerator / $denominator;
        }

        try {
            echo divide(10, 2);  // Works fine
            echo divide(10, 0);  // This will throw an exception
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
        }
        ?>
