How does PHP handle errors?

Junior PHP
Quick Answer PHP error handling: error_reporting() sets which errors to report. display_errors=On shows errors in browser (development only - never in production). error_log() writes to log file. set_error_handler() installs a custom error handler. try/catch for exceptions. set_exception_handler() for uncaught exceptions. In production: log errors, never display them to users. Use a logging library like Monolog.

Answer

PHP supports notices, warnings, and fatal errors. error_reporting and custom handlers manage behavior.
