E_ALL |
All errors and warnings, except level E_STRICT (E_STRICT
will be part of E_ALL as of PHP 6.0) |
Tips and Notes
Tip: The standard PHP error handler is completely
bypassed if this function is used, and the user-defined error handler must
terminate the script (die() ) if necessary
Note:
If errors occur before the script is executed the custom
error handler cannot be used since it is not registered at that time
Example
<?php
//error handler function
function customError($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
echo "<b>Custom error:</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />";
echo " Error on line $errline in $errfile<br />";
echo "Ending Script";
die();
}
//set error handler
set_error_handler("customError");
$test=2;
//trigger error
if ($test>1)
{
trigger_error("A custom error has been triggered");
}
?>
|
The output of the code above should be something like this:
Custom error: [1024] A custom error has been triggered
Error on line 19 in C:\webfolder\test.php
Ending Script
