=== htaccess or php.ini
in order to use php error logs, you first have to determine which of these methods will work: php.ini or .htaccess
custom local php.ini method:
cat > /home/edwardsmarkf/public_html/php.ini ;
log_errors = 1
display_errors = 1
error_log = /home/edwardsmarkf/public_html/marks-error-file
.htaccess method:
create a file called .htaccess and add these lines:
php_flag log_errors on
php_value error_log /var/www/blah/blah/blah/marks-php-error.log
php_flag display_errors off
php_value error_reporting 6143
the error-log will appear in the php-error.log file
another option:
php xdebug – added more information about where the program is inside of subroutines – 2009-01-14
= C O O L D E B U G T R I C K ==========
error_log( ‘log this please’ ); // cool debug trick!
dump the contents of $_REQUEST to the error log in readable format:
error_log(print_r($_REQUEST, 1));
to dump the contents of phpinfo() to a log file: 2013-02-05
ob_start();
phpinfo();
$variable = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
to determine the location of script in http environment:
$whole_script_name = $_SERVER[“SCRIPT_FILENAME”];
// $whole_script_name=’/var/www/html/newFlashMenuTest/phpinfo.php’;
$pattern = ‘?(/.*/).*$?’;
$replace=‘this—->$1’;
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $whole_script_name) ;
