IntroductionAssertionError class is a subclass of Error class. This type of error is thrown when assert() returns FALSEassert() checks if given assertion is true or false, and throws AssertionError if it is false.

IntroductionIn PHP 7.3 onwards, CompileError exception has been added. This class inherits Error class. Some error conditions that previously resulted in fatal error, now throw a CompileError. This affects compilation errors that are likely to be thrown by token_get_all() function.The token_get_all() function uses Zend lexical scanner to parse a given string into PHP language tokens.Syntaxtoken_get_all ( string $source [, int $flags = 0 ] ) : arrayParametersSr.NoParameter & Description1sourcePHP source to parse2flagTOKEN_PARSE - Recognises the ability to use reserved words in specific contexts.The function should be used in TOKEN_PARSE mode to be able to raise CompileError.Read More

IntroductionDivisionByZeroError class is a subclass of ArithmeticError class. This type of error occurs when division operation involves value of denominator as zero. This can also occur when a modulo operator (%) has 0 as second operator, and intdiv() function having second argument as 0.DivisionByZeroError ExampleIn first example, we try to perform modulo division of 10 and 0 using % operator to induce DivisionByZeroError.Example Live DemoOutputThis will produce following result −Modulo by zeroIf call to intdiv() function with 0 as second argument also raises DivisionByZeroError as followsExample Live DemoOutputThis will produce following result −Division by zeroDivision operator (/) having 0 as denominator, however fails to raise error, ...

IntroductionTypeError class extends Error class. This error is raised when actual and formal argument types don't match, return type doesn't match the decalred returned type or invalid arguments passed to any built-in functionNote that strict_types should be set to true with declare() function at the top of script −In this example, types of formal and actual argument variables don't match, resulting in TypeError.Example Live DemoThis will produce following result −OutputArgument 1 passed to add() must be of the type integer, string given, called in C:\xampp\php\test.php on line 9In following example, user defined function is supposed to return integer data, instead it is returning ...
