I've found out how to convert errors into exceptions, and I display them nicely if they aren't caught, but I don't know how to log them in a useful way. Simply writing them to a file won't be useful, will it? And would you risk accessing a database, when you don't know what caused the exception yet?
You could use set_error_handler to set a custom exception to log your errors. I'd personally consider storing them in the database as the default Exception handler's backtrace can provide information on what caused it - this of course won't be possible if the database handler triggered the exception however.
You could also use error_log to log your errors. It has a choice of message destinations including:
Quoted from error_log
- PHP's system logger, using the Operating System's system logging mechanism or a file, depending on what the error_log configuration directive is set to. This is the default option.
- Sent by email to the address in the destination parameter. This is the only message type where the fourth parameter, extra_headers is used.
- Appended to the file destination . A newline is not automatically added to the end of the message string.
Edit: Does markdown have a noparse tag for underscores?
