    Use of arithmetic operator / does not throw an exception in php 7, while it does in php 8.

    <?php

    try {
        echo     intdiv(2, 0);
    } catch (    DivisionByZeroError $e) {
        echo     "Caught DivisionByZeroError!\n";
    }

    try {
        echo (    2 / 0);
    } catch (    DivisionByZeroError $e) {
        echo     "Caught DivisionByZeroError!\n";
    }
    ?>

    # php 7
    $ php test.php
    caught division by zero for intdiv()

    Note that on division by zero 1/0 and module by zero 1%0 an E_WARNING is triggered first (probably for backward compatibility with PHP5), then the DivisionByZeroError exception is thrown next.

    The result is, for example, that if you set the maximum level of error detection with error_level(-1) and you also map errors to exception, say ErrorException, then on division by zero only this latter exception is thrown reporting "Division by zero". The result is that a code like this:

    <?php
    // Set a safe environment:
    error_reporting(-1);

    // Maps errors to ErrorException.
    function my_error_handler($errno, $message)
    { throw new     ErrorException($message); }

    try {
        echo     1/0;
    }
    catch(    ErrorException $e){
        echo     "got $e";
    }
    ?>

    allows to detect such error in the same way under PHP5 and PHP7, although the DivisionByZeroError exception is masked off by ErrorException.

    This error is thrown only for integer division - this is when using "intdiv" function or "%" operator. In all cases you will get an E_WARNING when dividing by zero.

    <?php
    class MathOperation extends Error
    {
        protected     $n = 10;

            // Try to get the Division by Zero error object and display as Exception
            public function doArithmeticOperation(): string
            {
            try {
                    $value = $this->n % 0;
            } catch (    DivisionByZeroError $e) {
                return     $e->getMessage();
            }
        }
    }

    $mathOperationObj = new MathOperation();
    echo     $mathOperationObj->doArithmeticOperation();
