Customization of PHP exception handler

It is inevitable to encounter some abnormal errors in programming. What we have to do is to handle exceptions reasonably so that they are not perceived by users. Today I will share a method of customizing exception handlers.

Create a custom error handler

Creating a custom error handler is very simple. We simply created a dedicated function that can be called when an error occurs in PHP.

The function must be able to handle at least two parameters (error level and error message), but can accept up to five parameters (optional: file, line-number and error context):

Syntax

error_function(error_level,error_message,

error_file,error_line,error_context)

Parameter description

error_level

Required. Specifies the error reporting level for user-defined errors. Must be a value.

See the table below: Error reporting levels.

error_message Required. Specifies error messages for user-defined errors.

error_file Optional. Specifies the name of the file in which the error occurred.

error_line Optional. Specifies the line number where the error occurred.

error_context Optional. Specifies an array containing each variable in use when the error occurred and their values.

Error reporting levels

These error reporting levels are different types of errors that the error handler is designed to handle:

Value constant description

2 E_WARNING Nonfatal run-time error. Do not pause script execution.

8 E_NOTICE

Run-time notification.

The script detects that an error may occur, but it may also occur when the script is running normally.

256 E_USER_ERROR Fatal user-generated error. This is similar to E_ERROR set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error().

512 E_USER_WARNING Non-fatal user-generated warning. This is similar to the E_WARNING set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error().

1024 E_USER_NOTICE User generated notification. This is similar to E_NOTICE set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error().

4096 E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR Trapable fatal error. Like E_ERROR, but can be caught by a user-defined handler. (See set_error_handler())

8191 E_ALL

All errors and warnings except level E_STRICT.

(In PHP 6.0, E_STRICT is part of E_ALL)

Now, let us create a function that handles errors:

function customError($errno, $errstr)
{
echo "Error: [$errno] $errstr
";
echo "Ending Script";
die();
}

The above code is a simple error handling function. When it is triggered, it gets the error level and error message. It then prints the error level and message, and terminates the script.

Now that we have created an error handling function, we need to determine when to trigger the function.

Set Error Handler

PHP’s default error handler is the built-in error handler. We are going to transform the above function into the default error handler when the script is running.

The error handler can be modified so that it only applies to certain errors, so that the script can handle different errors in different ways. However, in this case, we are going to use our custom error handler for all errors:

set_error_handler("customError");

Since we want our custom function to To handle all errors, set_error_handler() requires only one parameter, and a second parameter can be added to specify the error level.

Example

Test this error handler by trying to output a variable that does not exist:

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

The output of the above code should look like this:

Error : [8] Undefined variable: test

Trigger error

In the script where the user inputs data, it is useful to trigger an error when the user's input is invalid. In PHP, this task is accomplished by trigger_error().

Example

In this example, if the "test" variable is greater than "1", an error will occur:

17f550dbea345ffbb828ade53cab4c551)

{

trigger_error("Value must be 1 or below");

}

?>

The output of the above code should be similar to this:

Notice: Value must be 1 or below

in C:\webfolder\test. php on line 6

You can trigger an error anywhere in the script. By adding the second parameter, you can specify the error level that is triggered.

Possible error types:

E_USER_ERROR - Fatal user-generated run-time error. The error cannot be recovered. Script execution was interrupted.

E_USER_WARNING - Non-fatal user-generated run-time warning. Script execution is not interrupted.

E_USER_NOTICE - Default. User-generated run-time notifications. The script found a possible error, which may have occurred while the script was running normally.

Example

In this example, if the "test" variable is greater than "1", the E_USER_WARNING error occurs. If E_USER_WARNING occurs, we will use our custom error handler and end the script:

1)
{
trigger_error("Value must be 1 or below",E_USER_WARNING);
}
?>

The output of the above code should look like this:

Error: [512] Value must be 1 or below

Ending Script

Now that we have learned how to create our own errors, and how to trigger them, let's study error logging.

Error record

默认地，根据在 php.ini 中的 error_log 配置，PHP 向服务器的错误记录系统或文件发送错误记录。通过使用 error_log() 函数，您可以向指定的文件或远程目的地发送错误记录。

通过电子邮件向您自己发送错误消息，是一种获得指定错误的通知的好办法。

通过 E-Mail 发送错误消息

在下面的例子中，如果特定的错误发生，我们将发送带有错误消息的电子邮件，并结束脚本：

<?php
//error handler function
function customError($errno, $errstr)
{
echo "Error: [$errno] $errstr
";
echo "Webmaster has been notified";
error_log("Error: [$errno] $errstr",1,
"someone@example.com","From: webmaster@example.com");
}
//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);
}
?>

以上代码的输出应该类似这样：

Error: [512] Value must be 1 or below

Webmaster has been notified

接收自以上代码的邮件类似这样：

Error: [512] Value must be 1 or below

这个方法不适合所有的错误。常规错误应当通过使用默认的 PHP 记录系统在服务器上进行记录。
