Error Handling

Error Handling is a PHP topic. In plain words you use it for divide total / count in a report script. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: try/catch + log. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Error Handling.

From the example next to this theory — Error Handling: scores array, print avg, then high marks.

Trap — empty catch. Fix that before you talk about advanced PHP.

Viva — what is Error Handling? Then show try/catch + log. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Error Handling? Show this: try/catch + log. Trap: empty catch.

Example

<?php
// Error Handling
$scores = [80, 90, 70];
$avg = array_sum($scores) / count($scores);
echo "avg=" . number_format($avg, 1) . "\n";
foreach ($scores as $s) {
  if ($s >= 80) echo "high: $s\n";
}

Error Handling: scores array, print avg, then high marks. Say the output.
