RE: [PHP-DEV] error handling

>uhm, John, we dont have a E_PARSE yet. It's late... I actually stared at that sentence for about 30 seconds trying to determine if I had spelled PARSE wrong... Then I actually went and checked the manual to make sure I hadn't lost my mind and there was actually a E_PARSE constant... Now I'm just confused as to what the heck your talkin' about Derick :) >I stil see not why you would want to handle PARSE errors >gracefully. If >a user has broken code it should not even be on a production box. Bad >code -> dead site. Can't argue about broken code not being a production box. However, dealing with errors in code cleanly (regardless of the problem) is more than just an internal PHP problem. Having a solid way to gracefully bow-out because my cat managed to open, fill with junk, and save a critical include file would just be nice. The choice between the blank screen, or a nasty error message isn't a good one... I'd personally love to have a "sorry, our site is hosed" error page... If for nothing else then piece of mind... On a secondary note, as Rasmus pointed out when Mattia first suggested his ideas for error handling, everyone's got their own method. This seems like a reasonable and easy way to allow Mattia to SMS, Fax, Call, log, whatever on a critical error without forcing the rest of the PHP community to conform to an entirely new way of doing business.
