AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

PHP uses try/catch/finally blocks with the throw keyword to signal exceptional conditions using objects that implement Throwable, such as Exception or Error. Multiple catch blocks can handle different exception types.

The finally block always runs, making it suitable for cleanup like closing file handles regardless of whether an exception occurred.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.
