temporarily changing error reporting

[sfullman]

[
note: this is an edit of the post, figured I could word this better:

I need to have a call to a non-existent function still generate a notice (so I can know it happened), but not be a fatal error (so the program will still run). Is this possible?

e.g.:

change_reporting_somehow();
ob_start();
$client_code = 'bad_function()' ;
eval ( '$result= ' . $client_code.';' );
$x=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
restore_reporting_somehow();
if($x){
  echo 'Sorry, we can't execute that code';
}else{
 echo $result;
}

]

I want to give a limited access for an intranet to use php code on the website.

the code will be handled by an eval() function.

How do I lower the error reporting level so that calls to undefined functions won't kill the script then increase the error reporting level after the eval is done?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will solve your problems, but it might get you started.

Main issue i'm facing, I want to suprress the fatal error,but NOT the fact that a bad function has been called. That will allow me to gracefully put <span style="color:red">Error in your code!</span> so they can fix it.

If there was some method to read the error state of the system at any point maybe that would work.

You'll probably need to use [man]set_error_handler[/man]. Then you can have custom a function handle error reporting. Check the error number and/or message and do whatever is appropriate.
