Help for Error handing and logging in PHP

[Lian Liming]

hi, all
We are running a php program for business. We want to hand the
error in the following way: Don't display the error messages but give
some other information such as our service telephone number and some
others. It is useful for our customers to get quick help when problems
happen.
How can i do that? Thanks for your suggestion!

I'm going to assume that you are running Apache. If you aren't, you will
have to specify which server you are using.

It can definately be done. A good place to start is

Check out the PHP manual for error handling and logging

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php

But it is better to not have errors in your scripts :)
Everytime a function can fail, test for failure and call an appropriate
function to deal with it


<?php // assume ALL_CAPS are define()'d constants
/* ... */
mysql_connect(D B_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or handle_error(ER R_CONN);
/* ... */
if ($x == 0) handle_error(ER R_DIV0);
/* ... */
?>

where the handle_error() function does whatever you want, including
sending HTML to the client with your service telephone number and other
data you might need.

Take a look at http://www.tonymarston.co.uk/php-mys...orhandler.html
which gives you an example on how to customise the PHP error handler.

You can change this so that any piece of text is shown on the client's
browser while a proper description of the error is written to a logfile
and/or emailed to the system administrator.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
