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.
The *s got into the email for some weird reason- they aren't in the original code. I would like an error page to be displayed for all errors including parse ones. Blank pages aren't that helpful for the user.
Sounds like a parse error (using the code above will give you that). Try it in a htaccess file: php_flag display_errors 1 (I think). You can't use ini_set because a parse error breaks the whole script and it's not executed, so you need to change this value before the script.
Do I have to have display_errors set to 1 if I want to display a custom error page? I'd rather have display errors set to 0 but have a custom error page displayed when an error is triggered. Is this possible? Perhaps I have misunderstood how errors work in php.
