26. What are the different types of errors in PHP?
Three are three types of errors:1. Notices: These are trivial,
non-critical errors that PHP encounters while executing a script for
example, accessing a variable that has not yet been defined. By default,
such errors are not displayed to the user at all although, as you will
see, you can change this default behavior.2. Warnings: These are more serious errors for example, attempting
to include() a file which does not exist. By default, these errors are
displayed to the user, but they do not result in script termination.3. Fatal errors: These are critical errors for
example,
instantiating an object of a non-existent class, or calling a
non-existent function. These errors cause the immediate termination of
the script, and PHP's default behavior is to display them to the user
when they take place.
