Which error outputs can I expect from PHP?

Question

I want to build a regex that matches PHP-style error messages in HTML source code.

Does anybody know of one that exists or how I can create a list of possible PHP error outputs?

Answer 1

Take a look at the PHP source code, there should be a function to wrap errors and try to guess the convention used for all errors, warning, notices messages.

Answer 2

You can see a list of PHP's Predefined Constants.

Every error/warning/notice will fall into one of these categories, however there are likely hundreds if not thousands of possible messages which PHP can throw.

Answer 3

Depending on what you're actually trying to accomplish (you weren't very specific), I would instead recommend using set_error_handler.

function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
  // handle and log the error appropriately
}

set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");
