What is the difference between Errors and Exceptions in PHP, and how are they handled differently?

Errors in PHP are typically caused by syntax mistakes or runtime issues that prevent the script from running properly, while Exceptions are more specific issues that can be caught and handled within the code. Errors are not caught by try-catch blocks and can cause the script to halt execution, while Exceptions can be caught and handled gracefully. 

try {
    // code that may throw an exception
    throw new Exception("This is an exception");
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle the exception
    echo "Caught exception: " . $e->getMessage();
}
