Description: A fatal error is a serious error that causes the script to stop executing. This type of error occurs when the interpreter encounters a situation it cannot handle, resulting in the abrupt termination of the running script. Fatal errors can arise for various reasons, such as calling an undefined function, missing required files, or violating type constraints. Unlike other types of errors, such as notices or warnings, which allow the script to continue executing, a fatal error completely halts the process, which can be problematic in applications where continuity is crucial. Identifying and handling fatal errors is essential for developing robust and reliable applications, as it allows developers to anticipate and mitigate issues that could affect user experience. Fatal errors can be managed using try-catch blocks and custom error handling functions, enabling developers to log errors and provide more user-friendly error messages.
