is there a way to trap errors from function in PHP

[excession]

I'm callig a few php function in a script (FTP_PUT) an osometimes get a fatal error (timeout) if the connection is slow. Is there a way I can trap the error so it doesn't get printed all over the screen? Something similar the java's try catch blocks.

Yes.

Try this:
ini_set ("display_errors",0);

but wouldn't that just supress all errors without me being able to 'catch' them and deal with them?

Yeah that's right.
There is really no error catching program, unless if you do have this:

if (!your function)
{
echo "Your function is not successful";
} else
{
echo "Your function is successful";
}

normally "your function" would return false if it fails.

 

[excession]

ok, thats a good idea. Supress all error messages and then just catch the return values. although this won't really reveal why something broke, but is better than having horrid warnings splashed all across the screen lol

Thanks

No problem.

You should take a look at the section in the manual on Error Handling and Logging Functions <

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php>.

This should help you solve your problem.
