note 123241 added to function.error-log

DO NOT try to output TOO LARGE texts in the error_log(); if you try to output massive amounts of texts it will either cut of the text at about 8ooo characters (for reasonable massive strings, < 32 K characters) or (for insanely massive strings, about 1.6 million characters) totally crash without even throwing an error or anything (I even put it in a try/catch without getting any result from the catch). I had this problem when I tried to debug a response from a wp_remote_get(); all of my error_log() worked as they should, except for ONE of them... (-_-) After about a day of debugging I finally found out why & that's why I type this. Apparently the response contained a body with over 1.6 million chars (or bytes? (whatever strlen() returns)). If you have a string of unknown length, use this: $start_index = 0; $end_index = 8000; error_log( substr( $output_text , $start_index , $end_index ) ); ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 2001:2040:70:16:da2:c4d5:1a83:b4ff ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-log.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123241 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123241 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123241 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
