trigger_error("Value must be 1 or below");
}
?>

Notice: Value must be 1 or below in C:\xampp\htdocs\trigger.php on

Trigger an Error(contd.)
• An error can be triggered anywhere you wish in a script, and by
adding a second parameter, you can specify what error level is
triggered.

• Possible error types:

• E_USER_ERROR - Fatal user-generated run-time error. Errors


that can not be recovered from. Execution of the script is halted
• E_USER_WARNING - Non-fatal user-generated run-time
warning. Execution of the script is not halted
• E_USER_NOTICE - Default. User-generated run-time notice.
The script found something that might be an error, but could
also happen when running a script normally
