== How to resolve "Define and throw a dedicated exception instead of using a generic one" ==

Error condition
<pre>
if(!is_null($some_variable)){
            $error = 'The variable $some_variable is not defined.';
            throw new Exception($error);
        }
</pre>

Possible solution
<pre>
if(!is_null($some_variable)){
            $error = 'The variable $some_variable is not defined.';
            throw new InvalidArgumentException($error);
        }
</pre>
