Store PHP errors in a log file

Question

I would like to store any errors and warings generated by php in a log file but still display them in the normal way (echo) as well.

Thanks

Answer 1

I am not 100% clear on the question but feel it is a combination of error handling:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php

And correctly setting the error handling settings in your php.ini file, or at runtime with:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Specifically:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php

If you have something specific in mind, let me know.

Answer 2

php.ini contains two relevant variables: you can specify the log file with error_log, and choose whether or not to display the errors with display_errors

Answer 3

You can define your own function and describe what to do with errors.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php
