PHP Error Functions

❮ Previous Next ❯

PHP Error Introduction

The error functions are used to deal with error handling and logging.

The error functions allow us to define own error handling rules, and modify the way the errors can
be logged.

The logging functions allow us to send messages directly to other machines, emails, or system
logs.

The error reporting functions allow us to customize what level and kind of error feedback is given.

Installation
The PHP error functions are part of the PHP core. No installation is required to use these
functions.

Runtime Configuration
The behavior of the error functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Errors and logging configuration options:

Name Default Description Changeable

 error_reporting NULL Sets the error reporting level (either PHP_INI_ALL
  HTML CSS MORE 
an integer or  named constants)
EXERCISES   

display_errors "1" Specifies whether errors should be PHP_INI_ALL

printed to the screen, or if they
should be hidden from the user.
Note: This feature should never be
used on production systems (only to
support your development)

display_startup_errors "0" Even when display_errors is on, errors PHP_INI_ALL

that occur during PHP's startup
sequence are not displayed
Note: It is strongly recommended to
keep display_startup_errors off,
except for debugging

log_errors "0" Defines whether script error PHP_INI_ALL

messages should be logged to the
server's error log or error_log.
Note: It is strongly advised to use
error logging instead of error
displaying on production web sites

log_errors_max_len "1024" Sets the maximum length of PHP_INI_ALL

log_errors in bytes. The value "0" can
be used to not apply any maximum
length at all. This length is applied to
logged errors, displayed errors, and
also to $php_errormsg (available
since PHP 4.3)

ignore_repeated_errors "0" Specifies whether to log repeated PHP_INI_ALL

error messages. When set to "1" it
will not log errors with repeated
errors from the same file on the
same line (available since PHP 4.3)

ignore_repeated_source "0" Specifies whether to log repeated PHP_INI_ALL

error messages. When set to "1" it
will not log errors with repeated
errors from different files or source
lines (available since PHP 4.3)

report_memleaks "1" If set to "1" (the default), this PHP_INI_ALL

parameter will show a report of
memory leaks detected by the Zend
memory manager (available since
PHP 4.3)

will always be present in the variable
$php_errormsg

html_errors "1" Turns off HTML tags in error PHP_INI_ALL

messages PHP_INI_SYSTEM
in PHP <= 4.2.3.

xmlrpc_errors "0" Turns off normal error reporting and PHP_INI_SYSTEM

formats errors as XML-RPC error
message (available since PHP 4.1)

xmlrpc_error_number "0" Used as the value of the XML-RPC PHP_INI_ALL

faultCode element (available since
PHP 4.1)

docref_root "" (available since PHP 4.3) PHP_INI_ALL

docref_ext "" (available since PHP 4.3.2) PHP_INI_ALL

error_prepend_string NULL Specifies a string to output before an PHP_INI_ALL

error message

error_append_string NULL Specifies a string to output after an PHP_INI_ALL

error message

error_log NULL Specifies the name of the file where PHP_INI_ALL

script errors should be logged. The
file should be writable by the web
server's user. If the special value
syslog is used, the errors are sent to
the system logger instead
