[FX.php List] PHP Error Reporting...One more time

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Interesting/good question :-)

I think it's fair to say that there are two major types of errors in  
PHP; The ones that raise warnings, notices and so on, but still let  
your application keep running even though the expected results of  
whatever it's doing may not be very,, expected. Then there are the  
kind of errors that stop the application from running, such as syntax  
errrors. These latter ones will hopefully not occur too often unless  
you're really doing it wrong or don't check your edits at all.

However, for the first type of errors, you could define your own  
error handler in PHP, that will be called whenever an error that  
you've configured it to handle occurs. For example, if there is an  
error that you deem not to be that serious, you could have the  
handler e-mail you the error notifications, and for serious errors  
you could handle it in a more graceful way than you would without   
global error handler. See http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.set- 
error-handler.php.

For the second type of errors there's not that much to do from inside  
PHP since your application may not start at all in such cases. These  
will have to be taken care of using your skillz ;-)
