Common Errors and How
to Fix Them Of
Mastering PHP
2
1. Warning Errors Error Message Warning
include(file.php) failed to open stream No such
file or directory in /path/to/script.php on line
X Why It Happens Warning errors indicate that
something went wrong, but its not severe enough
to halt the execution of the script. One common
example is failing to include a file using
include() or require(). How to Fix 1. Check
File Paths Ensure the path to the included file
is correct and that the file exists. 2.
Permissions Verify that the PHP script has the
necessary permissions to read the file. 3.
Absolute Paths Using absolute paths instead of
relative paths can help avoid issues related to
file inclusion. Example php // Error
example include('file.php')

3
// Correct version if (file_exists('file.php'))
include('file.php) else echo "File not
found!" 2. 500 Internal Server Error Error
Message 500 Internal Server Error Why It
Happens A 500 Internal Server Error is a
server-side error that may be triggered by faulty
PHP scripts, permissions issues, or incorrect
configurations in .htaccess.

How to Fix 1. Check Server Logs Look at your
server logs (such as Apache or NGINX logs) to get
more information on the exact cause. 2. File
Permissions Ensure that PHP files have the
correct permissions. Typically, PHP files should
be set to 644 and folders to 755. 3. htaccess
Issues If youre using an .htaccess file, make
sure that there are no invalid directives causing
the server to fail. Example Fix bash For
checking permissions chmod 644 script.php chmod
755 directory/

3. Out of Memory Errors Error Message Fatal
error Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted
(tried to allocate Y bytes) in /path/to/script.php
on line Z Why It Happens This error occurs when
PHP tries to allocate more memory than the system
allows. It typically happens when dealing with
large datasets or inefficient code. How to
Fix 1. Optimize Code Ensure that your code is
memory-efficient, avoiding unnecessary loops or
memory-hogging operations. 2. Increase Memory
Limit You can increase PHPs memory limit using
php.ini or the ini_set() function. 3. Break
Data into Chunks When working with large
datasets, process data in chunks rather than
loading everything into memory at once.

• Example
• php
• // Increase memory limit in code
• ini_set('memory_limit', '512M)
• 4. Database Connection Errors
• Error Message
• Warning mysqli_connect() (HY000/1045) Access
  denied for user 'username'_at_'localhost' (using
  password YES) in /path/to/script.php online X
• Why It Happens
• Database connection errors occur when PHP fails
  to connect to the database server, often due to
  incorrect credentials or a misconfigured database
  server.

7

• How to Fix
• 1. Verify Credentials Ensure that the username,
  password, and database name are correct.
• 2. Check Server Configuration Ensure that your
  database server is running and properly
  configured to accept connections.
• 3. Firewall Settings If youre connecting to a
  remote database, ensure there are no firewall
  issues blocking the connection.
• Example
• php
• // Error example
• conn mysqli_connect('localhost', 'wrong_user',
  'wrong_pass', 'my_db)
• // Correct version
• conn mysqli_connect('localhost',
  'correct_user', 'correct_pass', 'my_db')

  mastering the art of debugging. By familiarizing
  yourself with common PHP development company and
  their errors and learning to troubleshoot
  effectively, youll build robust, scalable, and
