PHP Error Handling

bookCustom Error Handlers

When working with PHP, you often encounter different types of errors such as warnings, notices, and fatal errors. By default, these errors are handled by PHP's internal error handler, which may display messages or log them based on your configuration. However, this approach can make error management inconsistent, especially when you want to use exceptions for more robust error handling. The set_error_handler function allows you to define a custom error handler that can convert traditional PHP errors into exceptions. This unifies error management by letting you handle all errors—both those generated by the PHP engine and those you throw yourself—using try/catch blocks.

<?php // Custom error handler that throws ErrorException function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) { // Only convert warnings and notices to exceptions if ($errno === E_WARNING || $errno === E_NOTICE) { throw new ErrorException($errstr, 0, $errno, $errfile, $errline); } // Let PHP handle other error types return false; } // Set the custom error handler set_error_handler('customErrorHandler'); try { // Trigger a warning (undefined variable) echo $undefinedVariable; } catch (ErrorException $e) { echo "Caught exception: " . $e->getMessage(); }

In the code above, the customErrorHandler function checks the error type and throws an ErrorException when a warning or notice occurs. By registering this handler with set_error_handler, all warnings and notices are now converted into exceptions. This means you can use a single try/catch block to handle both traditional exceptions and PHP errors, simplifying your application's error management. You no longer need to write separate logic for handling errors and exceptions—everything is managed through the exception mechanism, making your code cleaner and easier to maintain.
