I use this script quite frequently now on PHP projects for simple error reports straight to my email account. Your clients are well pleased when you have the bug/error fixed before they report it to you.

All you need to do is copy the following script and paste it into a file and include it into your project.

ie:

 
< ?php
	include('error_control.php');
?>
 

The page error_control.php contains the script below

 
< ?php
 
	$debug = true;
	define("EmailNewLine", "\r\n");
	set_error_handler('error_handler');
 
	function error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
		global $debug;
		// echo a message to the end user
		echo '<span class="error_message">There has been a major error, now that we know about this error we will fix it!';
 
		$message = 'Date: '. date("d") .'/'. date("m") .'/'. date("Y") .' '. date("h") .':'. date("i") .':'. date("s") .' '. date("A") .'';
		$message .= 'File: '. __FILE__ .'';
		$message .= 'Line: '. __LINE__ .'';
		$message .= '';
 
		switch ($errno) {
			case E_USER_ERROR:
				if ($errstr == "(SQL)") {
					// handling an sql error
					$message .= "<b>SQL Error</b> [$errno] " . SQLMESSAGE . "";
					$message .= "Query : " . SQLQUERY . "";
					$message .= "On line " . SQLERRORLINE . " in file " . SQLERRORFILE . " ";
					$message .= ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")";
					$message .= "Aborting...";
				} else {
					$message .= "<b>My ERROR</b> [$errno] $errstr";
					$message .= "  Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile";
					$message .= ", PHP " . PHP_VERSION . " (" . PHP_OS . ")";
					$message .= "Aborting...";
				}
				exit(1);
				break;
 
			case E_USER_WARNING:
				$message .= "<b>My WARNING</b> [$errno] $errstr";
				break;
 
			case E_USER_NOTICE:
				$message .= "<b>My NOTICE</b> [$errno] $errstr";
				break;
 
			default:
				$message .= "Unknown error type: [$errno] $errstr";
				break;
		}
 
		$to = 'name@domain-name.com';
		$subject = 'WEBSITE ERROR: Name of project/web-site';
		$headers =	"Date: " . date("r", time()) . EmailNewLine .
					"From: website_error@smg.com.au" . EmailNewLine .
					"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ";
		mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
 
		// if $debug is equal to true then show the full error on the website, when you
		// make the website live make sure you set $debug equal to false
		if($debug == true) {
			echo '<span class="error_message">'. $message .'</span>';
		}
 
		return true;
	}
