How does PHP handle exceptions?

Junior PHP
Quick Answer PHP exceptions: throw new Exception("message") or throw new CustomException(). Catch with try-catch: try { riskyCode(); } catch (SpecificException $e) { handle(); } catch (Exception $e) { generic(); } finally { cleanup(); }. Multiple catch blocks handle different types. PHP 8 allows catching multiple types: catch (IOException|DatabaseException $e). Create custom exceptions by extending Exception.

Answer

Exceptions are handled with try-catch blocks, allowing structured error management.
