Skip or Hide PHP errors / warnings
30 Apr 2010
Errors are hints from compiler for the programmer to correct. But sometimes we face some unwanted or dynamic error. For example,
$content = file_get_contents(http://www.twitter.com/feed/234);
Here , the url is invalid, or the server of the url is down , PHP shows Warning: Failed to open stream or file access is disabled.
Use @ in front of such function never shows any warning message.
Eg: $content = @file_get_contents(url here) or die (‘Sorry , cannot access the url’);
Another method is runtime PHP ini editing
ini_set (‘display_errors’, 0);
//write the code which may cause error here
ini_set (‘display_errors’, 1);
But , these things are not recommended. Only for unavoidable situations.
