Breaking the right rules<\/h2>\n
\nOk, so we have our function ready to go for handling our logging calls. The next order of business
\nis to tell the parser that it should use this function for handling any errors. To do this, we will
\nuse the set_error_handler() function as so:<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n

<?php
\n
set_error_handler<\/span>(<\/span>\"simplisticLoggingFunction\"<\/span>);
\n
<\/span>?>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/font><\/div>\n

\nNow, in order to see any results during this demonstration, we’ll need to create our
\nown error. To do this, I’ll use a simple in_array() on a string variable. So, first we
\ndeclare a variable with a string value:<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n

<?php
\n
$fake_array\u00a0<\/span>=\u00a0<\/span>'test'<\/span>;
\n
<\/span>?>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/font><\/div>\n

\nNext, I will create an if statement which will throw an error by testing our faked array
\nfor the key ‘Something’:<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n

<?php
\n
<\/span>if\u00a0(\u00a0!<\/span>in_array<\/span>(\u00a0<\/span>'Something'<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>$fake_array\u00a0<\/span>)\u00a0)\u00a0
\n
{
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>trigger_error<\/span>(<\/span>\"Humph,\u00a0you\u00a0and\u00a0I\u00a0both\u00a0know\u00a0that\u00a0wasn't\u00a0an\u00a0array\"<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>E_USER_NOTICE<\/span>);\u00a0
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0echo\u00a0<\/span>\"An\u00a0error\u00a0has\u00a0been\u00a0posted\u00a0to\u00a0$log_file\"<\/span>;
\n
}
\n
<\/span>?>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
