Reporting parse errors

[gnative]

Hi ,
I'm trying to get php to report parse errors to an email and redirect the page, but when there is a parse error this following code doesn't seem to recognize the parse error and the page redirects to the php default error page.

<?

// Decide what errors to report: 
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_NOTICE | E_PARSE);
// Webmaster email and error page url:
$Wmemail = '[e-mail]';
$ErrorPage = 'http://www.gnative.com/verse2/error.html';
// This function will check the error type: 
function MailErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile='?', $errline= '?') 
{ 
global $Wmemail, $ErrorPage;
if (($errno & error_reporting()) == 0)
return;
$err = '';
switch($errno) {
case E_ERROR: $err = 'FATAL'; break;
case E_WARNING: $err = 'ERROR'; break;
case E_PARSE: $err = 'ERROR'; break;
case E_NOTICE: return;
}
// Send the error details via email:
mail($Wmemail, 
"PHP: $errfile, $errline", 
"$errfile, Line $errline\n$err($errno)\n$errstr"); 
// Redirect to the error page: 
print '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;url='.$ErrorPage.'">';
die(); 
} 
set_error_handler('MailErrorHandler');
?>

any idea what errors its causing or where its hanging?

have you tried adding some debugging echos to the code so you can tell what the last line processed is? or what blocks of the code are being processed?

I have been looking for hours but it seems that parse errors are compiled before runtime. this means that the parse errors are diplayed even before this script is run.

What i'm trying to do is make a debugging system for flash that displays the errors as i go and E_PARSE is the only one i cant capture.

other than that this code works great.

Any ideas how to get parse errors..

Hi,

you can't define a custom error handler for errors of type E_PARSE.

Read more about this in the [url=http:www.php.net/set_error_handler]manual[/url].

Parse errors are low level errors that can't be caught by custom error handlers.
