One approach is to throw an exception, which will be caught by Laravel&#8217;s exception handler, thereby halting further execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revised Implementation:<\/strong> Here&#8217;s how we can enhance the <code>set()<\/code> method to throw an exception instead of returning a value:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>public static function set($user_id, $name, $value)\r\n{\r\n    if (!User::find($user_id)) {\r\n        throw new \\Exception('NoForeign_User');\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    self::updateOrCreate(\r\n        &#91;'user_id' => $user_id, 'name' => $name],\r\n        &#91;'setting_value' => $value]\r\n    );\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Error: when invoking this method statically from a controller, the error handling mechanism fails to execut.
