In this section, we focus on a developer's trusty allies: error handling and debugging. These skills are essential for ensuring the stability and reliability of your PHP applications.

Strategies for Effective Error Handling and Logging

Error Handling Basics: Catching and Handling Exceptions

Effective error handling begins with understanding and managing exceptions. We'll explore how to use try-catch blocks to gracefully handle errors and maintain the flow of your application.

try {

    // Code that might throw an exception

    $result = performDangerousOperation();

} catch (Exception $e) {

    // Handle the exception, log it, and continue gracefully

    logError($e->getMessage());

    $result = handleRecovery();

}

- In this code example, we encapsulate potentially risky code within a try block. If an exception is thrown during execution, it’s caught in the catch block. Here, you can handle the error, log it for future reference, and take recovery measures.
