Building A Generic Error Reporting Class In PHP

Just a quick note to say what a brilliant article this is; light to read, full of information and well structured. The Error reporting article doesn't just serve as a good script but as an excellent tutorial for classes!

Just a quick note to point out that if you are using PHP < 4.2 you will need to replace:

'ob_clean();' // lines 112 & 127

with

'ob_end_clean();'
'ob_start();'

to make this work.

Otherwise very good article has helped me a lot

Building A Generic Error Reporting Class In PHP

December 11, 2002 - The traditional method of building dynamic, PHP-based Web sites - mixing HTML elements with PHP code - can result in mangled Web pages (and much user angst) if errors take place during script execution. But yes, you can avoid the ugliness - plug in our handy error reporting class, which provides a simple way of trapping script errors and generating consistent, user-friendly error screens.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: numerrors() in g:\www\beta\error_form_tester_temp.php on line 54


I keep getting this error on the non fatal errors template when I use the form tester page provided. I cant see where numErrors() refers to in the script as there doesnt seem to be a function defined for numErrors in the error reporter class. Any help please?

The source file "errorReporter.zip" mentioned in the article can be found on the author's web site (URL) in the "Community" section.

This is a great article, explaining many of the basic 'error reporting' aspects as the class is built (which is refreshing compared to how many authors write tutorials).

This got me off to a great start for constructing my own class.
