By this function alone you can not catch fatal errors, there is a simple work around. Below is part of my error.php file which handles errors and exceptions in the application. Before someone complains I'll add that I do not care that I am using globals, this file is part of my mini framework and without the 'config' variable the application would crash anyways.
<?php
/**
* Error handler, passes flow over the exception logger with new ErrorException.
*/
function log_error( $num, $str, $file, $line, $context = null )
{
log_exception( new ErrorException( $str, 0, $num, $file, $line ) );
}
/**
* Uncaught exception handler.
*/
function log_exception( Exception $e )
{
global $config;
if ( $config["debug"] == true )
{
print "<div style='text-align: center;'>";
print "<h2 style='color: rgb(190, 50, 50);'>Exception Occured:</h2>";
print "<table style='width: 800px; display: inline-block;'>";
print "<tr style='background-color:rgb(230,230,230);'><th style='width: 80px;'>Type</th><td>" . get_class( $e ) . "</td></tr>";
print "<tr style='background-color:rgb(240,240,240);'><th>Message</th><td>{$e->getMessage()}</td></tr>";

print "<tr style='background-color:rgb(240,240,240);'><th>Line</th><td>{$e->getLine()}</td></tr>";
print "</table></div>";
}
else
{
$message = "Type: " . get_class( $e ) . "; Message: {$e->getMessage()}; File: {$e->getFile()}; Line: {$e->getLine()};";
file_put_contents( $config["app_dir"] . "/tmp/logs/exceptions.log", $message . PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND );
header( "Location: {$config["error_page"]}" );
}
exit();
}
/**
* Checks for a fatal error, work around for set_error_handler not working on fatal errors.
*/
function check_for_fatal()
{
$error = error_get_last();
if ( $error["type"] == E_ERROR )
log_error( $error["type"], $error["message"], $error["file"], $error["line"] );

set_error_handler
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
set_error_handler — Spécifie une fonction utilisateur comme gestionnaire d'erreurs
Description
set_error_handler() choisit la fonction utilisateur
callback pour gérer les erreurs dans un script.
Cette fonction peut être utilisée pour définir des gestionnaires d'erreurs personnalisés pendant l'exécution, par exemple dans des applications qui ont besoin de nettoyer des fichiers/données lorsqu'une erreur critique se produit ou lorsqu'une erreur est déclenchée en réponse à certaines conditions (à l'aide de la fonction trigger_error()).
Il faut se rappeler que la fonction standard de traitement des erreurs
de PHP est alors complètement ignorée pour les erreurs de types
spécifiés par error_levels à moins que la fonction
de rappel retourne false.
Les paramètres de la fonction error_reporting() n'auront aucun effet
et le gestionnaire d'erreurs sera appelé quoi qu'il arrive. Cependant, il est toujours possible
de lire la valeur actuelle de la configuration de.
error_reporting et
faire réagir la fonction de gestion des erreurs en fonction.
Notez aussi que c'est la responsabilité du gestionnaire d'erreurs d'arrêter l'exécution du script si nécessaire en appelant la fonction exit(). Si la fonction du gestionnaire d'erreurs retourne, l'exécution du script se poursuivra avec l'instruction suivante après celle qui a causé l'erreur.
Les types d'erreur suivants ne peuvent pas être gérés avec cette fonction :
E_ERROR, E_PARSE,
E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING,
E_COMPILE_ERROR,
E_COMPILE_WARNING indépendamment d'où elles sont levées,
ainsi que la plupart des
E_STRICT du fichier dans lequel
set_error_handler() est appelé.
Si une erreur survient avant que le script ne soit exécuté (par exemple un téléchargement de fichier), le gestionnaire d'erreurs personnalisé ne pourra pas être appelé, car il n'est pas encore enregistré.
Liste de paramètres
-
callback -
Si
nullest fournie le gestionnaire est réinitialisé à son statut par défaut. Sinon, le gestionnaire est une fonction de rappel avec la signature suivante :handler(
int$errno,
string$errstr,
string$errfile= ?,
int$errline= ?,
array$errcontext= ?
): bool-
errno -
Le premier paramètre
errno, sera passé le niveau d'erreur, sous la forme d'un entier. -
errstr -
Le second paramètre
errstr, sera passé le message d'erreur, sous forme de chaîne. -
errfile -
Si la fermeture accepte un troisième paramètre,
errfile, il sera passé le nom du fichier dans lequel l'erreur a été identifiée, sous forme de chaîne. -
errline -
Si la fermeture accepte un quatrième paramètre,
errline, il sera passé le numéro de ligne à laquelle l'erreur a été identifiée, sous la forme d'un entier. -
errcontext -
Si la fermeture accepte un cinquième paramètre,
errcontext, il sera passé comme un tableau qui pointe sur la table des symboles actifs à l'instant où l'erreur est survenue. En d'autres termes,errcontextcontient un tableau avec toutes les variables qui existaient lorsque l'erreur a été déclenchée. Les gestionnaires d'erreurs utilisateur ne doit pas modifier le contexte d'erreur.AvertissementCe paramètre est OBSOLÈTE à partir de PHP 7.2.0, et SUPPRIMÉ à partir de PHP 8.0.0. Si la fonction définie ce paramètre sans valeur par défaut, une erreur de "too few arguments" sera levée lors de son appel.
Si la fonction retourne
false, alors le gestionnaire d'erreurs normal continue. -
-
error_levels -
Sert de masque pour appeler la fonction
callbackde la même façon que l'option de configuration error_reporting contrôle les erreurs qui sont affichées. Sans le masque,callbacksera appelé pour toutes les erreurs, quelle que soit la valeur de error_reporting.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne le dernier gestionnaire d'erreurs (s'il existe).
Si le gestionnaire d'erreurs natif est utilisé, null est retourné.
Si le gestionnaire d'erreurs précédent est une méthode d'une classe,
cette fonction retournera un tableau indexé de la classe et du nom de la méthode.
Historique
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 |
errcontext a été supprimé, et ne sera plus passé aux fermetures utilisateur.
|
| 7.2.0 |
errcontext est devenu obsolète.
L'usage de ce paramètre émet une notice E_DEPRECATED.

Exemples
Exemple #1 Gestionnaire d'erreurs avec set_error_handler() et trigger_error()
L'exemple ci-dessous illustre l'interception d'erreurs internes avec génération d'erreur et son exploitation dans une fonction utilisateur :
<?php
// Gestionnaire d'erreurs
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
if (!(error_reporting() & $errno)) {
// Ce code d'erreur n'est pas inclus dans error_reporting(), donc il continue
// jusqu'au gestionaire d'erreur standard de PHP
return false;
}
// $errstr doit peut être être échappé :
$errstr = htmlspecialchars($errstr);
switch ($errno) {
case E_USER_ERROR:
echo "<b>Mon ERREUR</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />\n";
echo " Erreur fatale sur la ligne $errline dans le fichier $errfile";
echo ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")<br />\n";
echo "Arrêt...<br />\n";
exit(1);
case E_USER_WARNING:
echo "<b>Mon ALERTE</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />\n";
break;
case E_USER_NOTICE:
echo "<b>Mon AVERTISSEMENT</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />\n";
break;
default:
echo "Type d'erreur inconnu : [$errno] $errstr<br />\n";
break;
}
/* Ne pas exécuter le gestionnaire interne de PHP */
return true;
}
// Fonction pour tester la gestion d'erreur
function scale_by_log($vect, $scale)
{
if (!is_numeric($scale) || $scale <= 0) {
trigger_error("log(x) for x <= 0 is undefined, you used: scale = $scale", E_USER_ERROR);
}
if (!is_array($vect)) {
trigger_error("Type d'entrée incorrect, tableau de valeurs attendu", E_USER_WARNING);
return null;
}
$temp = array();
foreach($vect as $pos => $value) {
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
trigger_error("La valeur à la position $pos n'est pas un nombre, utilisation 0 (zéro)", E_USER_NOTICE);
$value = 0;
}
$temp[$pos] = log($scale) * $value;
}
return $temp;
}
// Configuration du gestionnaire d'erreurs
$old_error_handler = set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");
// Génération de quelques erreurs. Commençons par créer un tableau
echo "vector a\n";
$a = array(2, 3, "foo", 5.5, 43.3, 21.11);
print_r($a);
// Générons maintenant un second tableau
echo "----\nvector b - a notice (b = log(PI) * a)\n";
/* Valeur à la position $pos n'est pas un nombre, utilisation de 0 (zéro) */
$b = scale_by_log($a, M_PI);
print_r($b);
// Ceci est un problème, nous avons utilisé une chaîne au lieu d'un tableau
echo "----\nvector c - a warning\n";
/* Type d'entrée incorrect, tableau de valeurs attendu */
$c = scale_by_log("non un tablau", 2.3);
var_dump($c); // NULL
// Ceci est une erreur critique : le logarithme de zéro ou d'un nombre négatif est indéfini
echo "----\nvector d - fatal error\n";
/* log(x) pour x <= 0 est indéfini, vous utilisez : scale = $scale" */
$d = scale_by_log($a, -2.5);
var_dump($d); // Jamais atteint

Be careful when using the return value to this function. Because it returns the old handler, you may be tempted to do something like:
<?php
function do_something()
{
$old = set_error_handler(“my_error_handler”);
// Do something you want handled by my_error_handler
set_error_handler($old);
}
?>
This will work, but it will bite you because each time you do this, it will cause a memory leak as the old error handler is put on a stack for the restore_error_handler() function to use.
So always restore the old error handler using that function instead:
<?php
function do_something()
{
set_error_handler(“my_error_handler”);
// Do something you want handled by my_error_handler
restore_error_handler();
}

I have realized that a few people here mentioned that you cannot capture parse errors (type 4, E_PARSE). This is not true. Here is how I do. I hope this helps someone.
1) Create a "auto_prepend.php" file in the web root and add this:
<?php
register_shutdown_function('error_alert');
function error_alert()
{
if(is_null($e = error_get_last()) === false)
{
mail('your.email@example.com', 'Error from auto_prepend', print_r($e, true));
}
}
?>
2) Then add this "php_value auto_prepend_file /www/auto_prepend.php" to your .htaccess file in the web root.
* make sure you change the email address and the path to the file.

Keep in mind that, when attempting to set a statically-defined error handler on a namespaced class in PHP >= 5.3, you need to use the class namespace:
<?php
set_error_handler('\\My\\Namespace\\Bob::errorHandler');
?>
Jacob Slomp ¶

This might be handy if you don't want your clients to see the errors, and you do want to be one step ahead of them.
It emails you the errors even if it's a parse error.
set_error_handler() doesn't work for what I wanted.
<?php
ini_set('log_errors',TRUE);
ini_set('error_log','tiny_uploads/errors.txt');
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != "YOUR IP ADDRESS"){
ini_set('display_errors',false);
}
function byebye(){
$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
if(file_exists($dir."/tiny_uploads/errors.txt")){
$errors = file_get_contents($dir."/tiny_uploads/errors.txt");
if(trim($errors)){
$head = "From: php_errors@".str_replace('www.','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])."\r\n";
$errors .= "---------------------------------------------\n\n";

We needed to use an error handler to handle SQL errors while passing the query along so the query is also logged and this is what we came up with, its kind of an ugly bridge but it works 100%
<?php
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline){
switch ($errno) {
case E_USER_ERROR:
if ($errstr == "(SQL)"){
// handling an sql error

echo "Query : " . SQLQUERY . "<br />\n";
echo "On line " . SQLERRORLINE . " in file " . SQLERRORFILE . " ";
echo ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")<br />\n";
echo "Aborting...<br />\n";
} else {
echo "<b>My ERROR</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />\n";
echo " Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile";
echo ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")<br />\n";
echo "Aborting...<br />\n";
}
exit(1);
break;
case E_USER_WARNING:
case E_USER_NOTICE:
}
/* Don't execute PHP internal error handler */
return true;

i made an error handler that print also the backtrace and that can die on some errors. It can be useful if you want to die on every error you find.
<?php
function my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline){
$errno = $errno & error_reporting();
if($errno == 0) return;
if(!defined('E_STRICT')) define('E_STRICT', 2048);
if(!defined('E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR')) define('E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR', 4096);
print "<pre>\n<b>";
switch($errno){
case E_ERROR: print "Error"; break;
case E_WARNING: print "Warning"; break;
case E_PARSE: print "Parse Error"; break;
case E_NOTICE: print "Notice"; break;
case E_CORE_ERROR: print "Core Error"; break;
case E_CORE_WARNING: print "Core Warning"; break;

case E_USER_NOTICE: print "User Notice"; break;
case E_STRICT: print "Strict Notice"; break;
case E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR: print "Recoverable Error"; break;
default: print "Unknown error ($errno)"; break;
}
print ":</b> <i>$errstr</i> in <b>$errfile</b> on line <b>$errline</b>\n";
if(function_exists('debug_backtrace')){
//print "backtrace:\n";
$backtrace = debug_backtrace();
array_shift($backtrace);
foreach($backtrace as $i=>$l){
print "[$i] in function <b>{$l['class']}{$l['type']}{$l['function']}</b>";
if($l['file']) print " in <b>{$l['file']}</b>";
if($l['line']) print " on line <b>{$l['line']}</b>";
print "\n";
}
}
print "\n</pre>";
if(isset($GLOBALS['error_fatal'])){
if($GLOBALS['error_fatal'] & $errno) die('fatal');
}
}
function error_fatal($mask = NULL){
if(!is_null($mask)){
$GLOBALS['error_fatal'] = $mask;
}elseif(!isset($GLOBALS['die_on'])){
$GLOBALS['error_fatal'] = 0;
}
return $GLOBALS['error_fatal'];
}
?>
Usage :
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); // will report all errors
set_error_handler('my_error_handler');
error_fatal(E_ALL^E_NOTICE); // will die on any error except E_NOTICE

"The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING, and most of E_STRICT raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called."
This is not exactly true. set_error_handler() can't handle them, but ob_start() can handle at least E_ERROR.
<?php
function error_handler($output)
{
$error = error_get_last();
$output = "";
foreach ($error as $info => $string)
$output .= "{$info}: {$string}\n";
return $output;

This may be of help to someone, who is/was looking for a way to get a backtrace of fatal errors such as maximum memory allocation issues, which can not be handled with user-defined functions, to pin-point the problem:
On a server hosting many sites that share common PHP includes, I set in one spot:
<?php
@ini_set ("error_log", "/my/path/php.err-" . $_SERVER ["HTTP_HOST"] . "-" . $_SERVER ["REMOTE_ADDR"] . "-" . $_SERVER ["REQUEST_METHOD"] . "-" . str_replace ("/", "|", $_SERVER ["REQUEST_URI"]));
?>
I actually used some additional information too from my software that I omitted, but that way, you'll find errors sorted more neatly in for example:-
/my/path/php.err-website.com-127.0.0.1-GET-path|index.html?xyz
And that at least helped me tremendously to then further pin-point where the problem is, as opposed to before just seeing the out of memory and not knowing which site/page it was on (as the PHP error only contains the very latest PHP code where it ran out of memory, which usually is just a shared included file, not the actual page).

This is a note when using php from the terminal (the CLI interface). From the command line, even if you have some kind of error user handler function so STDERR will not display, fatal errors will still cause the PHP interpreter to display error text. There is nothing you can do about that php-wise. If using UNIX/Linux, you can add " 2>/dev/null" at the end of your command to force STDERR not to show

This actually works to catch Fatal errors...
<?php
function shutdown()
{
$a=error_get_last();
if($a==null)
echo "No errors";
else
print_r($a);
}
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
ini_set('max_execution_time',1 );
sleep(3);
?>
it will output
Array ( [type] => 1 [message] => Maximum execution time of 1 second exceeded [file] => /path/to/file_name.php [line] => 136 )

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
function shutdown(){
$isError = false;
if ($error = error_get_last()){
switch($error['type']){
case E_ERROR:
case E_CORE_ERROR:
case E_COMPILE_ERROR:
case E_USER_ERROR:
$isError = true;
break;
}
}
if ($isError){
echo "Script execution halted ({$error['message']})";
} else {
echo "Script completed";
}
}
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
?>
Note that this will only catch runtime errors. So calling a method in a non existing class, or declaring a function twice does not trigger the shutdown handler.

Useful thing to note - if your error handler throws an error in itself, PHP is smart enough to use the deault error handler to handle it. This way, you don't end up in infinite flaming loops of death. This seems to be true, at least, in PHP 4.2.
('Course, there are ways to create your handler to handle even this situation, but it's probably best left this way for general purposes.)

To honor the value of PHP's error_reporting() function, use:
<?
if( ($level & error_reporting()) == 0 ) return;

Given this code:
class CallbackClass {
function CallbackFunction() {
// refers to $this
}
function StaticFunction() {
// doesn't refer to $this
}
}
function NonClassFunction() {
}
there appear to be 3 ways to set a callback function in PHP (using set_error_handler() as an example):
1: set_error_handler('NonClassFunction');
2: set_error_handler(array('CallbackClass', 'StaticFunction'));
3: $o =& new CallbackClass();
set_error_handler(array($o, 'CallbackFunction'));
The following may also prove useful:
class CallbackClass {
function CallbackClass() {
set_error_handler(array(&$this, 'CallbackFunction')); // the & is important
}
function CallbackFunction() {
// refers to $this
}
}
The documentation is not clear in outlining these three examples.

For anyone interested in the actual translated error codes and their meanings:
1 E_ERROR (integer) Fatal run-time errors. These indicate errors that can not be recovered from, such as a memory allocation problem. Execution of the script is halted.
2 E_WARNING (integer) Run-time warnings (non-fatal errors). Execution of the script is not halted.
4 E_PARSE (integer) Compile-time parse errors. Parse errors should only be generated by the parser.
8 E_NOTICE (integer) Run-time notices. Indicate that the script encountered something that could indicate an error, but could also happen in the normal course of running a script.
16 E_CORE_ERROR (integer) Fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like an E_ERROR, except it is generated by the core of PHP.
32 E_CORE_WARNING (integer) Warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like an E_WARNING, except it is generated by the core of PHP.
64 E_COMPILE_ERROR (integer) Fatal compile-time errors. This is like an E_ERROR, except it is generated by the Zend Scripting Engine.
128 E_COMPILE_WARNING (integer) Compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors). This is like an E_WARNING, except it is generated by the Zend Scripting Engine.
256 E_USER_ERROR (integer) User-generated error message. This is like an E_ERROR, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
512 E_USER_WARNING (integer) User-generated warning message. This is like an E_WARNING, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
1024 E_USER_NOTICE (integer) User-generated notice message. This is like an E_NOTICE, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
2048 E_STRICT (integer) Enable to have PHP suggest changes to your code which will ensure the best interoperability and forward compatibility of your code. Since PHP 5 but not included in E_ALL until PHP 5.4.0
4096 E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR (integer) Catchable fatal error. It indicates that a probably dangerous error occurred, but did not leave the Engine in an unstable state. If the error is not caught by a user defined handle (see also set_error_handler()), the application aborts as it was an E_ERROR. Since PHP 5.2.0
8192 E_DEPRECATED (integer) Run-time notices. Enable this to receive warnings about code that will not work in future versions. Since PHP 5.3.0
16384 E_USER_DEPRECATED (integer) User-generated warning message. This is like an E_DEPRECATED, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error(). Since PHP 5.3.0
32767 E_ALL (integer) All errors and warnings, as supported, except of level E_STRICT prior to PHP 5.4.0. 32767 in PHP 5.4.x, 30719 in PHP 5.3.x, 6143 in PHP 5.2.x, 2047 previously

If you want to be sure that the native PHP error handler is called without resetting the handler stack (as set_error_handler(null) does), you can simply call set_error_handler with $error_types set to zero. This can be especially use full in conjunction with e.g. error_get_last():
<?php
// var_dump or anything else, as this will never be called because of the 0
set_error_handler('var_dump', 0);
@$undef_var;
restore_error_handler();
// error_get_last() is now in a well known state:
// Undefined variable: undef_var
... // Do something
$e = error_get_last();
...
?>

It is important to note that the registered SPL autoloader will NOT be called if an E_STRICT error triggers the error handler which, in turn, tries to use classes which are not yet loaded.
In this instance, you should manually load classes required by the error handler.

The manual states:
"errcontext will contain an array of every variable that existed in the scope the error was triggered in. User error handler must not modify error context."
But do you know WHY you must not modify the error context? It appears that errcontext is (in effect if not literally) created by taking $GLOBALS and adding the non-global local variables as additional entries in that array, then passing the whole thing *by reference*.
(You can prove this to be true if you set up a custom error handler and then print_r($errcontext) within it, because $GLOBALS will be printed as a recursive array).
In other words, the language in the manual is misleading, because errcontext is NOT a copy of the variables that existed when the error WAS triggered, but rather is a reference to the *existing LIVE variables* in the calling script.
This includes superglobal variables like $_SERVER, $_POST, $_GET, etc., as well as all user-defined variables in scope.
The significance of that is that if you modify errcontext, you will be modifying those other variables, not just for the life of your error handling function, but for the life of the calling script as well.
That doesn't matter if you plan to halt execution in your error handling function, but it will lead to unexpected behavior if you modify $errcontext and then return to the program's normal flow after handling the error, because the variables will stay modified. For example, if you unset $_SERVER in your custom error handling function, it will remain unset once the function is over and you have returned to the page that generated the error.
This should be made clearer in the manual, starting by marking errhandler with an ampersand (&) for passage by reference in the "Parameters" section above, like so:
handler ( int $errno, string $errstr [, string $errfile [, int $errline [, array &$errcontext]]] )

Two notes on using set_error_handler() on behaviour that I noticed when migrating an application from php 4.2.1 to php 4.3.9 (I do not yet have php 5.0 available, this might not apply there!).
1. setting the system error handler
If you want to set the standard php error handler again, after having set your own error handler, this works in php 4.2.1 by passing in an empty string:
<?php
function my_handler($log_level, $log_text, $error_file, $error_line)
{
// if an error occurs here, the standard error
// would be called (to avoid recursion)
// do something useful
// ...
}
$last_handler = set_error_handler("my_handler");
// after this, $last_handler == ""
// restore standard error handler
$last_handler = set_error_handler("");
// after this, $last_handler == "my_handler"
?>
The very same code now raises an error in php 4.3.9:
set_error_handler() expects argument 1, '', to be a valid callback
(Since the return value of the first call to set_error_handler() is still the empty string "", I don't see how this can be done any more. I don't really need this, because I use my own handlers as shown below, but it might be good to be aware of this.)
2. setting your own 'second level' handler
If you have set your own error handler, and want to replace it by another one (other than the standard php error handler) while it is being executed, note that the return value of set_error_handler when used INSIDE the error handler is "" instead of the name of the previous handler! This is not too surprising, because during execution of your self defined error handler, php replaces it with the standard php error handler to avoid infinite loops in case of problems inside the handler. This is only interesting if you want nested handlers as I do. Background of my design:
1st level handler: log into DB
2nd level handler: log into flat file (if log into DB fails)
3rd level handler: print to stdout (if log into flat file fails) (this is the sytem handler, finally).
<?php
function my_fallback_handler($log_level, $log_text, $error_file, $error_line)
{
// if an error occurs here, the standard error
// would be called (to avoid recursion)
// do something useful
// ...
} // my_fallback_handler
function my_handler($log_level, $log_text, $error_file, $error_line)
{
// if an error occurs here, the standard error
// would be called (to avoid recursion)
// but we want to have a fallback handler different
// to the standard error handler
$last_handler = set_error_handler("my_fallback_handler");
// I expected $last_handler == "my_handler"
// (which it would outside my_handler())
// but here it is the empty string ""
// do something useful
// ...
// now set the 1st level handler again:
// (do NOT use $last_handler as argument,
// because it equals "")
$last_handler = set_error_handler("my_handler");
} // my_handler
$last_handler = set_error_handler("my_handler");
?>

It seems that when you're letting PHP know that you have a custom error handler, you're not able to -update/set new- variables inside the class. Example:
<?php
class error {
var $error;
function error() {
$this->setIni(); // this causes PHP to ignore all other changes to the class.
}
function handler() {
echo $this->error.'!!';
}
function setText($text) {
$this->error = $text;
}
function setIni() {
set_error_handler(array($this, 'handler'));
}
}
$eh = new error;
$eh->setText('Error! <br>'); // this will not be saved
trigger_error('text', E_USER_ERROR);
// prints '!!'
?>
How it should be done:
<?php
class error {
var $error;
function error() {
// dont let PHP know of our error handler yet
}
function handler() {
echo $this->error.'!!';
}
function setText($text) {
$this->error = $text;
}
function setIni() {
set_error_handler(array($this, 'handler'));
}
}
$eh = new error;
$eh->setText('Error! <br>'); // this WILL work
$eh->setIni(); // call this method when you're ready with configuring the class. All other methods that will be called will have no effect on the errorHandling by PHP
trigger_error('text', E_USER_ERROR);
// prints 'Error! <br>!!'

Hi everyone. I don't know if it is an old behavior of previous versions, but currently you can set exception and error handlers as private or protected methos, if, only if, you call `set_exception_handler()` or `set_error_handler()` within a context that can access the method.
Example:
<?PHP
$Handler = new class ()
{
public function __construct ()
{
set_error_handler([&$this, 'HandleError']);
set_exception_handler([&$this, 'HandleException']);
}
protected function HandleError ( $Code, $Message, $File = null, $Line = 0, $Context = [] )
{
// Handle error here.
}
private function HandleException ( $Exception )
{
// Handle exception here.
}
}
?>
NOTE: these methods must match the callbacks parameters signatures.

I'm missing a way to chain error handlers. It's not something offered by set_error_handler. You have to jump through some hoops to get it to work, but it *is* quite possible, by making use of the return value of the function. Here's an example:
<?
$previous = set_error_handler(function ($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext) use (&$previous) {
/* Your custom error handling code here. */
// If another error handler was defined, call it.
if ($previous) {
return $previous($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext);
} else {
// Use the standard PHP error handler.
return false;
}
});

If you are new to programming and you would like to know how to add a combination of those error reporting values to .htaccess file. Here's a small guide.
With PHP function error_reporting we can add together option with bitwise add operator | . But we can't use those constants in htaccess file and in my case I have no idea how to add bitwise number.
So, solution can be casting selected options to int:
echo (int)(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_USER_ERROR) ;
->263
Then you can use 263 in .htaccess
php_value error_reporting 263
In my case I needed those errors to be displayed for my debugging server. But the combination can be different from mine.

The PHP manual is not very clear about how to handle @ operator error messages.
Here is working code:
// Do nothing if @ operator
$errLevel=error_reporting(E_ALL);
if ($errLevel===0)
return true; // ignore @ prefixed expression errors

Note that error handlers don't run recursively. If you have an error while an error handler is running (in the error handler itself or code called from it) then you won't get the error handler called again.
This has subtle ramifications for $php_errormsg. If you are relying on your error handler to suppress certain kinds of error message from going into $php_errormsg (via return true; because error_reporting doesn't affect $php_errormsg setting) then this will not work for any code called within that error handler.

The @ operator sets the error_reporting() value to 0.
This means you can use it with your own Error Handler too. for example:
function userErrorHandler($errno, $errmsg, $filename, $linenum, $vars) {
if (error_reporting())
echo $errmsg;
}
set_error_handler("userErrorHandler");
function test(){
trigger_error("Error Message", E_USER_WARNING);
}
@test(); // doesn't output anything

At work I have some code with errors that uncatched are the causes of integrity loss (people calling web services with file_get_contents that fails silently and afterwards insert garbage in the database).
here is the solution I found to transform a specific set of errors into exception and afterwards be able to selectively act (with the error code) regarding categories :
<?php
ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL^E_NOTICE);
## first 10 bits reserved for the initial error number
define('EMASK',(~0)<<10);
define('ECODEMASK',~EMASK);
## categories
define('IOERROR', 1<<10);
define('EMPTYPARMS', 1<<11);
define('FAILURE', 1<<12);
## string error patterns => code
$catch_me=array(
"/^(file_get_contents)\((.*)\).*failed to open stream: (.*)/ " =>
array ( 'mesg' => "IO::Failed to open stream with",
'code' => IOERROR | FAILURE
),
"/^fopen\(.*\): Filename cannot be empty/" =>
array( 'msg' => "Parameters::empty",
'code' => EMPTYPARMS
)
);
function error_2_exception($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline,$context) {
global $catch_me;
foreach ($catch_me as $regexp => $res) {
if(preg_match($regexp,$errstr,$match)){
throw new Exception($res['mesg'],$res['code']|( $errno & EMASK ) );
}
}
/* switch back to PHP internal error handler */
return false;
}
## => want to catch this one
$f=file_get_contents("mlsdkfm");
## dont want to break existing wrong behaviour yet (so not caught)
$f=file_get_contents('');
## magic
set_error_handler("error_2_exception");
## behaviour remains the same
$f=file_get_contents('');
try {
## web services that dont work now raise an exception \o/
$f=file_get_contents("mlsdkfm");
} catch(Exception $e) {
## and I can group my exception by category
echo ( $e->getCode() & FAILURE ) ? "\nEPIC FAIL\n" : "\nbegnine";
}
?>
