PHP Error Handling

Testing the error handler by trying to output variable that does not exist:

<?php
//error handler function
function customError($errno, $errstr)
  {
  echo "<b>Error:</b> [$errno] $errstr";
  }

//set error handler
set_error_handler("customError");

//trigger error
echo($test);
?>

Output: Error: [8] Undefined variable: test

Trigger an Error


Error occurs if the "test" variable is bigger than "1":

<?php
$test=2;
if ($test>1)
{
trigger_error("Value must be 1 or below");
}
?>

E_user_warning

<?php
//error handler function
function customError($errno, $errstr)
  {
  echo "<b>Error:</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />";
  echo "Ending Script";
  die();
  }

//set error handler
set_error_handler("customError",E_USER_WARNING);

//trigger error
$test=2;
if ($test>1)
  {
  trigger_error("Value must be 1 or below",E_USER_WARNING);
  }
?>

Out put: Error: [512] Value must be 1 or below
