Examples

Below we can see an example of using the error handling capabilities in PHP. We define an error handling function which logs the information into a file (using an XML format), and e-mails the developer in case a critical error in the logic happens.

Example #1 Using error handling in a script

<?php
// we will do our own error handling
error_reporting(0);

// user defined error handling function
function userErrorHandler($errno$errmsg$filename$linenum$vars
{
    
// timestamp for the error entry
    
$dt date("Y-m-d H:i:s (T)");

    
// define an assoc array of error string
    // in reality the only entries we should
    // consider are E_WARNING, E_NOTICE, E_USER_ERROR,
    // E_USER_WARNING and E_USER_NOTICE
    
$errortype = array (
                
E_ERROR              => 'Error',
                
E_WARNING            => 'Warning',
                
E_PARSE              => 'Parsing Error',
                
E_NOTICE             => 'Notice',
                
E_CORE_ERROR         => 'Core Error',
                
E_CORE_WARNING       => 'Core Warning',
                
E_COMPILE_ERROR      => 'Compile Error',
                
E_COMPILE_WARNING    => 'Compile Warning',
                
E_USER_ERROR         => 'User Error',
                
E_USER_WARNING       => 'User Warning',
                
E_USER_NOTICE        => 'User Notice',
                
E_STRICT             => 'Runtime Notice',
                
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR  => 'Catchable Fatal Error'
                
);
    
// set of errors for which a var trace will be saved
    
$user_errors = array(E_USER_ERRORE_USER_WARNINGE_USER_NOTICE);
    
    
$err "<errorentry>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<datetime>" $dt "</datetime>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<errornum>" $errno "</errornum>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<errortype>" $errortype[$errno] . "</errortype>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<errormsg>" $errmsg "</errormsg>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<scriptname>" $filename "</scriptname>\n";
    
$err .= "\t<scriptlinenum>" $linenum "</scriptlinenum>\n";

    if (
in_array($errno$user_errors)) {
        
$err .= "\t<vartrace>" wddx_serialize_value($vars"Variables") . "</vartrace>\n";
    }
    
$err .= "</errorentry>\n\n";
    
    
// for testing
    // echo $err;

    // save to the error log, and e-mail me if there is a critical user error
    
error_log($err3"/usr/local/php4/error.log");
    if (
$errno == E_USER_ERROR) {
        
mail("phpdev@example.com""Critical User Error"$err);
    }
}


function 
distance($vect1$vect2

E_USER_WARNING);
            
$c2 0.0;

$d += $c2*$c2 $c1*$c1;
    }
    return 
sqrt($d);
