Hi all! Have a question about hiding PHP errors from the end user.
I have the following lines:
$fp = fsockopen ($host, 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$fp) {
// problem, put error handing code here
} else {
// success, do whatever here
}
but if fsockopen is unsuccessful, PHP will display an error warning on the page
before it even gets to my error handling code.
I found the display_errors command at:
< http://ie.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors>
but they give the following warning:
"This is a feature to support your development and should never be used on
production systems (e.g. systems connected to the internet)."
Am unclear what that means - is it okay to add:
ini_set('display_errors','Off');
to my page, so that an end user won't ever get the warning displayed and I can
deal with the error behind the scenes? Or is there a better way to keep PHP
from writing error codes to the screen?
Thanks!
