Re: Length of Exception text?

Greetings, Jochem Maas. In reply to Your message dated Sunday, September 7, 2008, 20:56:37,

I've been working on some PEAR-based app last week and I ran into problem. While I debugging app, my backtrace always trimmed at some point. First time I though it was my mistake, and switched back to standard "Exception" class. But nothing changed. If I print everything by hands, it's all full and good, but if I let PHP print

what do you mean by:

1. print by hand

Catch excetion and manually call getTraceAsString.

2. let PHP print

Do not catch exception, let PHP behave on it's own way.

are you printing to screen or to error_log (or syslog)? I believe error_log has a limit as to the length of the string that will actually be logged ... I can't remember whether this was php, apache or system related. I do remember writing the following function at one time to counter truncated messages: function syslog_multiline($priority, $message) {

    $r = false;

    $chunks = str_split($message, 500);
    foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
        $r &= syslog($priority, $chunk);
    }

    return $r;

} yes, it's pretty crufty, but hey it worked.

exception message, it getting trimmed at 1015 characters, rendering backtrace almost useless. Say, only my own code producing 4-5 lines, PEAR stuff adding about 8, plus converting PEAR_Error to Exception at least 2 lines. All-in-all, up to 15 lines so far, and backtrace trimmed at 6'th or 7'th line. Is there any way to affect this behaviour without recompiling PHP?
