Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47887&edit=1 ID: 47887 Comment by: notdefix at hotmail dot com Reported by: aragon at phat dot za dot net Summary: Permit custom error types with trigger_error() Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.2.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It would be nice if a couple more error levels would be supported, for example in addition to the supported: E_USER_ERROR E_USER_WARNING E_USER_NOTICE E_USER_DEPRECATED please also add: E_USER_INFO ..: for example: 'system starting' E_USER_DEBUG .: for example: 'reading line 8 of config file' This would bring it more in line with the error levels common in many systems. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-03 19:36:35] johannes@php.net This isn't possible, as the whole error infrastructure, including all logging components and therelike have to know the error levels which might occur. You could use a global variable to transport your own error code for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-03 14:29:27] aragon at phat dot za dot net Description: ------------ It would be useful if trigger_error would accept custom error types. Although I can do this with Exceptions, I can't see a way of sending variable context from where an exception is thrown to the exception handler, and loosing variable context would be a deal breaker. Reproduce code: --------------- define('E_CUSTOM_1', -1); define('E_CUSTOM_2', -2); function error_handler ($errno, $errmsg, $scriptname, $scriptline, $errcontext) { if ($errno == E_CUSTOM_1) die('custom error type'); } set_error_handler('error_handler'); trigger_user('message', E_CUSTOM_1); Expected result: ---------------- custom error type Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: Invalid error type specified in - on line 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47887&edit=1
