I've spent the last couple of hours trying to work this out to no avail.
I have recently moved over to a managed dedi server and no can ask my
host to change my php.ini.
I have found out that the 'display_errors' in the php.ini is set to off
and error file logging is off.
I would like to be able log to file which is easy to do from the ini
file but also to show a custom error page if there is an error on one of
the pages.
I thought I would be able to use a custom error handler such as -
ob_start();
// custom error handler
function e($type, $msg, $file, $line) {
blah blah
ob_end_clean();
// display error page
exit();
}
set_error_handler("e");
But all I get is a blank page. Does having display_errors off mean that
I can't use a custom error handler? I have also tried adding
*set_ini*('*display_errors*','1') but this keeps giving me a blank page.
Can someone tell me the best (and most secure way) of having custom
error pages in php. Ideally I would like it all set from a central place
so that i only need to change one file for all the websites on our
server. I didn't really want to change display_errors to on as I was
told this wasn't very secure- i don't want error messages on any of my
pages, I just want a simple error 500 server error page.
Many thanks,
Ian
