CodeIgniter Error Handling

codeigniter

CodeIgniter provides several ways to handle errors in your application.

One way to handle errors is to use the show_error() function, which displays an error message and exits the current script. For example:

if ($some_error_condition)
{
  show_error('An error occurred');
}

You can also use the show_404() function to display a “404 Page Not Found” error if a requested page or resource cannot be found.

if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$page.'.php'))
{
  // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
  show_404();
}

If you want to handle errors in a more custom way, you can use the set_error_handler() function to specify a custom error handler function. This function will be called whenever an error occurs in your application.

function my_error_handler($severity, $message, $file, $line)
{
  // Do something with the error
}

set_error_handler('my_error_handler');

You can also use the log_message() function to write errors to the log file. This is useful for debugging and tracking errors in your application.

log_message('error', 'Some error occurred');
