errror handling

[langals]

Hi there

I am trying to create a customized error handling function in php. I have used the set_error_hanler() function to divert errors to this function. The code seems pretty generic, but it does not want to work.

I have used the following code, which is included in the main page.

<?php

function custom_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{

$error_msg = " $errstr occured in $errfile on $errline at " . date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
$email_addr = "";
$log_file = "error_log.txt";

$email = false;
$stdlog = true;
$display = true;

$notify = false;
$halt_script = true;

switch($errno)
{

case E_USER_NOTICE:
case E_NOTICE:

  $halt_script = false;
   $type = "Notice";
   break;

case E_USER_WARNING:
case E_COMPILE_WARNING:
case E_CORE_WARNING:
case E_WARNING:

  $halt_script = false;
   $type = "Warning";
   break;

case E_USER_ERROR:
case E_COMPILE_ERROR:
case E_CORE_ERROR:
case E_ERROR:

   $type = "Fatal Error";
   break;

case E_PARSE:

   $type = "Parse Error";
   break;

default:

    $type = "Unknown Error";
   break;

}

if($notify)
{

   $error_msg = $type . $error_msg;

   if($email) error_log($error_msg, 1, $email_addr);
   if($display) echo $error_msg;
   if($stdlog)
   {
      if($log_file = "") {
         error_log($error_msg, 0);
      } else {
         error_log($error_msg, 3, $log_file);
      }
   }

}

if($halt_script) exit -1;

}

//define custom error handler
set_error_handler("custom_error_handler");

?>

Any suggestions as to what the error could be?

Thanks

No pun intended but what error messages do you get?

Thanks for replying

I get the standard php error messages. The standard php error handling utility is not being bypassed as should happen with set_error_handler().

Have you got

the following set in your php.ini

log_errors =1;
display_errors =0;

here is what i have in a configuration file on a site i'm working on. I can't get to the php.ini file so the following lines do the same

ini_set("error_log",FS_HTTROOT."/logs/code_errors_".date("d_m_Y").".txt");
ini_set("log_errors",'1');
ini_set("display_errors",0);

I tried that, but it still doesn't seem to be diverting to my custom error handler.
