I realize this may be a ridiculous question, but does anyone know how I can setup our website to send an email to our admin every time a PHP error is thrown on our website?
Use an error handler. For example, from: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/quick-tip-email-error-logs-to-yourself-with-php/
// Our custom error handler
function nettuts_error_handler($number, $message, $file, $line, $vars)
{
$email = "
<p>An error ($number) occurred on line
<strong>$line</strong> and in the <strong>file: $file.</strong>
<p> $message </p>";
$email .= "<pre>" . print_r($vars, 1) . "</pre>";
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Email the error to someone...
error_log($email, 1, 'you@youremail.com', $headers);
// Make sure that you decide how to respond to errors (on the user's side)
// Either echo an error message, or kill the entire project. Up to you...
// The code below ensures that we only "die" if the error was more than
// just a NOTICE.
if ( ($number !== E_NOTICE) && ($number < 2048) ) {
die("There was an error. Please try again later.");
}
}
// We should use our custom function to handle errors.
set_error_handler('nettuts_error_handler');
