How is the try catch block used in PHP?

In PHP, the try-catch statement is used to handle any potential exceptions that may occur. It has the following syntax:

try {
   // 可能会抛出异常的代码
} catch (Exception $e) {
   // 异常处理代码
}

In the try block, you put code that may throw an exception. If an exception occurs while executing the code in the try block, the remaining code in the try block will be skipped, and the program flow will move to the catch block.

The catch block is used to capture and handle exceptions. It contains a parameter, which is the exception object caught. Through this parameter, detailed information about the exception can be obtained, such as the type of exception, message, etc. In the catch block, appropriate actions can be taken to handle the exception, such as logging, displaying error messages, etc.

Here is an example demonstrating the use of try-catch.

try {
   // 可能会抛出异常的代码
   $result = 10 / 0; // 这行代码会抛出一个除以0的异常
   echo "这行代码不会被执行";
} catch (Exception $e) {
   // 异常处理代码
   echo "发生了异常：" . $e->getMessage();
}

In the example above, an exception will be thrown when dividing by 0 because it is an illegal operation. The code within the catch block will be executed and the exception message “Exception occurred: Division by zero” will be output.
