Error Handling
##############
CodeIgniter lets you build error reporting into your applications using
the functions described below. In addition, it has an error logging
class that permits error and debugging messages to be saved as text
files.
.. note:: By default, CodeIgniter displays all PHP errors. You might
wish to change this behavior once your development is complete. You'll
find the error_reporting() function located at the top of your main
index.php file. Disabling error reporting will NOT prevent log files
from being written if there are errors.
Unlike most systems in CodeIgniter, the error functions are simple
procedural interfaces that are available globally throughout the
application. This approach permits error messages to get triggered
without having to worry about class/function scoping.
CodeIgniter also returns a status code whenever a portion of the core
calls ``exit()``. This exit status code is separate from the HTTP status
code, and serves as a notice to other processes that may be watching of
whether the script completed successfully, or if not, what kind of
problem it encountered that caused it to abort. These values are
defined in *application/config/constants.php*. While exit status codes
are most useful in CLI settings, returning the proper code helps server
software keep track of your scripts and the health of your application.
The following functions let you generate errors:
show_error()
============
.. php:function:: show_error($message, $status_code, $heading = 'An Error Was Encountered')
:param mixed $message: Error message
:param int $status_code: HTTP Response status code
:param string $heading: Error page heading
:returns: void
This function will display the error message supplied to it using the
following error template::
application/views/errors/error_general.php
The optional parameter ``$status_code`` determines what HTTP status
code should be sent with the error. If ``$status_code`` is less than 100,
the HTTP status code will be set to 500, and the exit status code will
be set to ``$status_code + EXIT__AUTO_MIN``. If that value is larger than
``EXIT__AUTO_MAX``, or if ``$status_code`` is 100 or higher, the exit
status code will be set to ``EXIT_ERROR``. You can check in
*application/config/constants.php* for more detail.
show_404()
==========
.. php:function:: show_404($page = '', $log_error = TRUE)
:param string $page: URI string
:param bool $log_error: Whether to log the error
:returns: void
This function will display the 404 error message supplied to it using
the following error template::
application/views/errors/error_404.php
The function expects the string passed to it to be the file path to the
page that isn't found. The exit status code will be set to ``EXIT_UNKNOWN_FILE``.
Note that CodeIgniter automatically shows 404 messages if controllers are
not found.
CodeIgniter automatically logs any ``show_404()`` calls. Setting the
optional second parameter to FALSE will skip logging.
log_message()
=============
.. php:function:: log_message($level, $message, $php_error = FALSE)
:param string $level: Log level: 'error', 'debug' or 'info'
:param string $message: Message to log
:param bool $php_error: Whether we're logging a native PHP error message
:returns: void
This function lets you write messages to your log files. You must supply
one of three "levels" in the first parameter, indicating what type of
message it is (debug, error, info), with the message itself in the
second parameter.
Example::
if ($some_var == '')
{
log_message('error', 'Some variable did not contain a value.');
}
else
{
log_message('debug', 'Some variable was correctly set');
}
log_message('info', 'The purpose of some variable is to provide some value.');
There are three message types:
#. Error Messages. These are actual errors, such as PHP errors or user
errors.
#. Debug Messages. These are messages that assist in debugging. For
example, if a class has been initialized, you could log this as
debugging info.
#. Informational Messages. These are the lowest priority messages,
simply giving information regarding some process. CodeIgniter doesn't
natively generate any info messages but you may want to in your
application.
.. note:: In order for the log file to actually be written, the *logs*
directory must be writable. In addition, you must set the "threshold"
for logging in *application/config/config.php*. You might, for example,
only want error messages to be logged, and not the other two types.
If you set it to zero logging will be disabled.
