Error Reporting Level:

Controls the level of error messages displayed or logged in PHP scripts.

// Set the error reporting level to display all errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Example code that may generate errors
echo $undefinedVariable; // Example of accessing an undefined variable

Error Logging:

Logs error messages to a specified file, facilitating debugging and troubleshooting.

error_log("Error message", 3, "/path/to/error.log");

The try-catch Blocks (Exceptions):

Allows you to handle exceptions gracefully by enclosing code that may throw exceptions within a try block and provide error-handling logic in catch blocks.

try {
    // Code that may throw an exception
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Handle the exception
}

Custom Error Handlers:

Enables the definition of custom functions to handle PHP errors or exceptions, providing more control over error-handling behavior.

function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
    // Custom error handling logic
}

// Setting custom error handler
set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");
