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. --was-- I have realized that a few people here mentioned that you cannot capture parse errors (type 4, E_PARSE).
