How can error handling and validation be improved in the PHP code provided?

The issue with the provided PHP code is that it lacks proper error handling and validation. To improve this, we can implement try-catch blocks to catch any exceptions that may occur and add validation checks to ensure that the input data is correct before proceeding with the processing. 

try {
    // Validate input data
    if (!isset($_POST['username']) || !isset($_POST['password'])) {
        throw new Exception('Invalid input data');
    }

    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];

    // Process the data
    // (Your processing code here)

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
