PHP 7 exceptions are used for backward compatibility and enhancement of the old assert() function. It enables zero-cost assertions in production environments and provides the ability to throw custom exceptions and errors.
The old version of the API will continue to be maintained for compatibility purposes. assert() is now a language construct that allows the first parameter to be an expression, not just a string to be evaluated or a The boolean to be tested.
