PHP Error Handler

A PHP error handler w/ simple configuration and high ease-of-use.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT:

• v1.0 may include breaking changes for the forseeable future.
• not all documented features are currently implemented

Install

composer require taeluf/error-handler v1.0.x-dev   

or in your composer.json

{"require":{ "taeluf/error-handler": "v1.0.x-dev"}}  

Usage

First setup per instructions below.

<?php  
  
$args_to_log = ['exception'=> new \Exception("Error here!")];  
\Tlf\ErrorHandler::log("User Mesage only ...");  
// or include a separate debug message, custom log file name, and array of args to log  
\Tlf\ErrorHandler::log('User Message ...', 'Debug Message...', 'main.txt', $args_to_log);  

You may, in your project, create a no namespaced log() function that calls the error handler, just to save keystrokes.

You may use an instance of ErrorHandler (via constructor or init) instead, but its more cumbersome that way.

Setup

Run vendor/bin/tlferr init to create the config file for you & print a php setup script, for you to copy+paste.

config/tlferr.json:

{  
    "log_dir": "logs",  
    "print_mode": "print_all",  
    "handle_exceptions": true,  
    "handle_php_error_log": true,  
    "max_log_msg_chars": 100  
}  

PHP Initialization:

<?php  
  
$project_root_dir = __DIR__;  
$error_handler = \Tlf\ErrorHandler::init($project_root_dir, 'config/tlferr.json');  
$error_handler->print_mode = \Tlf\ErrorHandler::determine_print_mode(); # PRINT_DEBUG unless running in a non-localhost http environment  
// Or use enum \Tlf\ErrorHandler\Mode:  
# \Tlf\ErrorHandler\Mode::PRINT_ALL  
# \Tlf\ErrorHandler\Mode::PRINT_DEBUG  
# \Tlf\ErrorHandler\Mode::PRINT_USER_FRIENDLY  
# \Tlf\ErrorHandler\Mode::PRINT_NONE  

print_mode can be set in config with lower-case version of the enums above, like "print_all" or "print_none"
