Continue PHP Script after error?

Question

mysql_query("SELECT active...  WHERE account = '".$account."'")

x = 1;
where(x<10){
    if($active == 1){
        mysql_query("UPDATE scriptstatus SET active = '0' WHERE account = '".$account."'");

        /// Script with errors

        x++;
    }
}
mysql_query("UPDATE scriptstatus SET active = '1' WHERE account = '".$account."'");

I have a script, but it has errors and that makes the script to stop.

Can I force the script to run until the end?

Wouldn't error handling, or better yet, fixing the errors be a better solution? — John Conde

What kind of errors? Runtime errors? Php errors? sql errors? — Hugo Dozois

No, this is not possible, nor is it a good idea. PHP-scripts are terminated upon error. The real solution would be to fix the errors instead.

A side tip: try looking into a proper IDE which informs you on potential problems and errors while you type.

Use try catch: http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php

try {
    /// Script with errors
} catch (Exception $e) {}

the mysql extension doesn't throw exceptions.

@SerjSagan are we talking about the same thing here? Try/catch blocks are for exceptions. Errors/Warnings/Notices are totally different. Are you implying that a try/catch block can actually catch an Error/Warning/Notice? Check out the note from the link you provided:

Internal PHP functions mainly use Error reporting, only modern Object oriented extensions use exceptions. However, errors can be simply translated to exceptions with ErrorException.
