Here is the error handling script:
(Note I have set the global variable $live to both TRUE & FALSE while test as it is supposed to deal with error handling differently if a site is live or not)
Code: Select all
<?
# Script handle.php
//flag variable for site status
$live = TRUE;
// create the error handler
function my_error_handler($e_number, $e_message, $e_file, $e_line, $e_vars){
global $live;
//build the error msg
$message = "An error occured in THE script '$e_file' on line $e_line :$e_message\n";
// append $e_vars to the $message
$message .= print_r($e_vars, 1);
if($live){
echo '<div>A system error occurred in a script. We apologize for the inconvenience.</div><br />';
}else {
echo '<div>' . $message . '</div><br />';
}
}
set_error_handler('my_error_handler') or die('error handler not set!');
?>
]Code: Select all

2)I have edited the php.ini and tried adjusting the error reporting entries to different settings trying to test if they affect my script.
I have tried it with display_errors on & off and with the error reporting level set to E_ALL and also with that line rem'd out.
I am sure there are other scripts that are much better but please understand I am trying to learn so part of what I need to know is why this script isn't working??
I've copied and pasted the info so if I've missed syntax errors they should be visible but I haven't been able to recognize them at this point?
Thank you for all and any assistance you can give me.
