I'm trying to use the following script given to me by 1and1 to generate an error log for php. This code is not creating a new file or updating the file even if I create it manually.
//set time zone of website
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
//Set error warning for active or non-active site
if($SiteIsActive=="no"){
error_reporting(E_ALL);
}
else{
error_reporting(0);
$old_error_handler = set_error_handler("userErrorHandler");
function userErrorHandler ($errno, $errmsg, $filename, $linenum, $vars){
$time=date("d M Y H:i:s");
// Get the error type from the error number
$errortype = array (1 => "Error",
2 => "Warning",
4 => "Parsing Error",
8 => "Notice",
16 => "Core Error",
32 => "Core Warning",
64 => "Compile Error",
128 => "Compile Warning",
256 => "User Error",
512 => "User Warning",
1024 => "User Notice");
$errlevel=$errortype[$errno];
var_dump($errno);
var_dump($errmsg);
var_dump($filename);
var_dump($linenum);
//Write error to log file (CSV format)
$errfile=fopen("errors.csv","a");
fputs($errfile,"\"$time\",\"$filename:
$linenum\",\"($errlevel) $errmsg\"\r\n");
fclose($errfile);
if($errno!=2 && $errno!=8){
//Terminate script if fatal error
die("A fatal error has occurred. Script execution has been aborted");
}
}
}
This code is included into other scripts where it sets the error handling for those scripts. It works fine to determine if the error_reporting should be turned on (for debugging) or off when the site is active. But it won't generate the error log file. The var_dumps in there produce nothing at all. I know there is an error in the code, because I went out of my way to create one. And when the site is in debug mode it shows the errors as it should.
