How can one effectively handle errors using templates in PHP without relying on eval()?

When handling errors in PHP templates without using eval(), you can use try-catch blocks to catch exceptions and handle them gracefully. By wrapping the template rendering code in a try block, you can catch any errors that occur during the rendering process and handle them in the catch block. This approach allows you to handle errors without relying on potentially unsafe eval() function.

try {
    ob_start();
    require 'template.php';
    $output = ob_get_clean();
    echo $output;
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'An error occurred: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
