Custom error function

[vitalyb]

I have the following function:

	function bv_die($msg)
	{
		die("<b>Error:</b> $msg<br>
		<b>Line:</b> ".__LINE__."
		<b>File:</b> ".__FILE__);
	}

Problem is, as you can guess, that it prints the LINE and the FILE of the error function itself and not of the code that called this function. What should I do? I'd rather not to pass the LINE and FILE to the function as parameters.

Why not?

Well, mostly because it just makes the use of the function less comfortable. Whole point of the function is to not make repeat code and by typing FILE and LINE everytime it is not what happens.

Anyways, if there is no other way, so be it 🙁.

Use set_error_handler() at the start of your script, then trigger_error() when something goes wrong. Your custom error handler function will be passed all kinds of context information from the place where trigger_error() was called.
