What are the differences between the "exit" and "die" functions in PHP?

The "exit" and "die" functions in PHP both terminate the script execution, but the main difference is that "die" is a language construct while "exit" is a function. The "die" function is an alias of "exit" and both can be used interchangeably to stop the script. It is recommended to use "exit" over "die" for consistency and readability in your code. 

// Using the "exit" function to terminate script execution
exit("Script has ended.");

// Using the "die" function (which is an alias of "exit") to terminate script execution
die("Script has ended.");
