This is another article of the great .htaccess file. In this article you will find two scripts with appropriate comments to help you easily customize your PHP error log file. There is a production edition which silences all errors and then there is a development edition which shows all errors in real time as thy occur in addition to the log file.
Below is a production edition which is ideal for a site that is active, live, etc. This edition will make sure that no errors are ever displayed on the live site but instead written to a specified log file.
.htaccess file: Production Edition
# disable display of startup errors php_flag display_startup_errors off # disable display of all other errors php_flag display_errors off # disable html markup of errors php_flag html_errors off # enable logging of errors php_flag log_errors on # disable ignoring of repeat errors php_flag ignore_repeated_errors off # disable ignoring of unique source errors php_flag ignore_repeated_source off # enable logging of php memory leaks php_flag report_memleaks on # preserve most recent error via php_errormsg php_flag track_errors on # disable formatting of error reference links php_value docref_root 0 # disable formatting of error reference links php_value docref_ext 0 # specify path to php error log php_value error_log /home/path/public_html/domain/PHP_errors.log # specify recording of all php errors php_value error_reporting 999999999 # disable max error string length php_value log_errors_max_len 0 # protect error log by preventing public access <files > Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All </files>
Below is the development edition, this setup is ideal for sites that are not yet published to the public. This setup is ideal as it will catch & display errors in real time.
.htaccess file: Development Edition
# PHP error handling for production servers php_flag display_startup_errors on php_flag display_errors on php_flag html_errors on php_flag log_errors on php_flag ignore_repeated_errors off php_flag ignore_repeated_source off php_flag report_memleaks on php_flag track_errors on php_value docref_root 0 php_value docref_ext 0 php_value error_log /home/path/public_html/domain/PHP_errors.log php_value error_reporting 999999999 php_value log_errors_max_len 0 <files > Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All </files>
