XXVII. Error Handling and Logging Functions

Introduction

These are functions dealing with error handling and logging. They allow you to define your own error handling rules, as well as modify the way the errors can be logged. This allows you to change and enhance error reporting to suit your needs.

With the logging functions, you can send messages directly to other machines, to an email (or email to pager gateway!), to system logs, etc., so you can selectively log and monitor the most important parts of your applications and websites.

The error reporting functions allow you to customize what level and kind of error feedback is given, ranging from simple notices to customized functions returned during errors.

Requirements

These functions are available as part of the standard module, which is always available.

Installation

There is no installation needed to use these functions, they are part of the PHP core.

Predefined Constants

These constants are part of the PHP core and always available.

Error Handling :


11-Jan-2002 02:03

A handy errorhandler class can be found at:



It has several enhancements (report layouts): 

* prints the source code fragment where the error encountered, 
* prints variable context around error source, 
* suppresses error-messages, instead displays an arbitrary HTML or PHP
page
* logging to multiple targets and autodetecting target logging 
* error messages can be displayed in a separate browser window 
* catching errors for runtime generated codes 
* debugging variables.
