Can errors shown locally (in the HTML) (ex:errors in php templates)be shown globally?

Hi!

I have a script with some evals.

When an error occurs in the eval PHP+HTML code, the error is shown after that a lot of HTML has already been output (Provided that the error is not very serious - a warning for example - and that there is some HTML code before the PHP code from which the error comes). This is annoying.

I would like the error msgs to be displayed like the parse errors msgs get displayed (that is alone and top, right of the page).

Is this possible with errors being displayed locally in the HTML?

thx pals

Without seeing some code, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying.

One solution that would seem to help, is that you assign all of your HTML output to a variable, $output or whatever, and only output that variable at the end of your script, using concatentation to add on to it throughout the script. If an error occurs in one of the functions, it'll print that, then when you send out your HTML at the bottom of the script, it'll be underneath the already echo'd error. If you'd like all errors to be listed in a certain place, echo all of the HTML code before the corresponding location, assign all remaining HTML to a variable as mentioned above and then echo that at the end. That way, if there were any errors reported, they would effectively be surrounded by your HTML, allowing you to dictate where/how they are displayed.

Another option might be to use error surpressing (turn off display_errors or use the error surpressing symbol '@') and use your own error handling.
