In many "exception-heavy" programming languages, whenever anything goes wrong an exception will be thrown. This is
certainly a viable way to do things, but PHP is an "exception-light" programming language. While it does have
exceptions and more of the core is starting to use them when working with objects, most of PHP itself will try to keep
processing regardless of what happens, unless a fatal error happens.

Error Reporting can be changed by using PHP settings and/or PHP function calls. Using the built in PHP function
`error_reporting()` you can set the level of errors for the duration of the script execution by passing one of the
Predefined Constants, meaning if you only want to see Warnings and Errors - but not Notices - then you can configure that:

### Inline Error Supression
### Inline Error Suppression
As well as setting the level of error reporting during script execution you can also suppress specific errors from being
displayed using the Error Control Operator `@`. You simply put this operator at the beginning an expression, and any
error that would be caused as a direct result of the specific expression will be silenced.

### ErrorException's
### ErrorException
PHP is perfectly capable of being an "exception-heavy" programming language, and only requires a few lines of code to
make the switch. Basically you can throw your "errors" as "exceptions" using the `ErrorException` class, which extends the `Exception` class.
