passing data

tjam

Hello All,

I am trying to incorporate an error handling schema on my website. I am using an errorReporting class with a function that will display the errors to error_display page. I really want this to show up on the page where the form generated the error.

So for example I verifying that array is not empty. If empty it creates a new error object with the appropriate properties to describe the error.

require_once "errorReporter.class.php"; $e = new errorReporter();

After the error is raised it is then displayed with this function of the errorReporter class.

// manually raise an exception
	function raiseError($subtype=NULL, $data="No additional information available")
	{
		$this->_errors[] = array("subtype" => $subtype, "data" => $data);

	if ($this->_getErrorType($subtype) < 1000)
	{
		// fatal
		$this->displayFatalError($subtype, $data);
	}

	return $this->_errors;
}

function displayFatalError($subtype, $data)
	{
		ob_clean();
		$errorType = $this->_errorTypes[$this->_getErrorType($subtype)];
		$errorCode = $subtype;
		$errorMsg = $this->_errorsubTypes[$subtype];
		$addInfo = $data;

	include ("fatal_error.php");
	die;
}

Instead of redirecting to the fatal_error.php page I want the above variables to go to the page that generated the error displayed in a table cell.

What is the best approach to achieve this?

thanks

first thing to realize is that you aren't redirecting to any page in function displayFatalError. You are loading that script into the page that calls displayFatalError. that's what the include statement is for.

What's in fatal_error.php? does it just display the errors? if so, then it looks to me that it will just display on the page you want it to.

Where is displayFatalError being called?

Thanks for your response Keith.

yes it just displays these variables assigned in the displayFatalError function.

e.g

<?=$errorType ?> Error Code: <?=$errrorCode ?>

A little confused about the "me" part in your response?

Where is displayFatalError being called

It is being called from the raiseError function in the errorReporter class.

Is the form in a page itself or an include file?

What I would do is put the form into an include file. When posting, if errors occur, display the errors, plus, re-display the form using include() or require() and have the form fill in the fields that were correct, while highlighting the fields that were not.

I'm actually working on something similar to this in an app. It isn't done yet, but when it is I can post some code examples.
