✅ Throwing exceptions – How to signal when something goes wrong.
✅ Catching exceptions – Gracefully handling errors without breaking your code.
✅ Why exceptions are better than manual checks in many cases.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand how to handle errors cleanly and professionally in PHP.
