}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    printf("Exception: %s", $e->getMessage());
}
?>

Output

Exception: Array index out of bound

Explanation

Here, we created used try and catch block. In the try block - we created an array that contains the name of colors. We also created the local variable $index to access the element from the array from the specified index.

if($index>=count($colors))
    throw new Exception("Array index out of bound");

Here, we check the condition, if the value of $index is greater than or equal to the total elements of the array then we will throw an exception with a specified message using the throw keyword that will be caught by catch block and print specified message on the webpage.
