Make PHP Errors display in template.

[TitanKing]

Hey guys,

Thanks for viewing my thread.

I would like to log php errors to a database, this is easily done with mysql errors in the following way:

// The function to write the logs to the database.
function write_to_database ($error)
{
     // Writes error to database
}

mysql_query($query) or die(write_to_database(mysql_error()));

The above is disturbingly easy, but how can I do this with PHP error ?

Is there a easy way perhaps?

You can use [man]set_error_handler[/man] to register a custom error-handling function.

Thank you for the reply, this is exacly what I need. Your help is appreciated. 🙂 !

Using set_error_handler to register a custom error handling function is a very good idea as it absolves you of the responsibility to write error handling code for each possible error case.

e.g. the "or die" is now redundant. I'm assuming your error handler will, during its execution, eventually call exit()
