Hi All-
I have searched for a while and cannot seem to find a quality error trapping
script!!!
Here is the situation, about a week ago one of the sites I built (which is
hosted on a shared server @ an ISP) went down. It went down because the
database server got moved. If I had been notified of the page errors that
were being generated, I would have been able to address the problem more
quickly and get their site back online. Luckily I found the problem, not the
client, however they did have a few people call and ask about it.
I was very angry and spent the rest of the day looking for a good error
trapping script, but I couldn't find anything. I am not very experienced
with error trapping in PHP, so here are a couple questions.
Aside from major code errors which should be fixed in development, things
like database connections won't stop the page from processing, so I am
wondering if PHP Errors (Warnings?) are stored in an array? Maybe I can put
a script into the php.ini appending every page with a small piece of code
that checks if any errors are present and if they are immediately email me.
Does that sound like a solid process for doing some basic alerting when PHP
scripts are generating errors?
I'd love to hear other people's input on this and how they are attacking
this problem!
Thanks!
