How I can hide php error details from end users - php

how I can hide php error details from end users
I don't want the end users see my php error details
I modify on php.ini
display_errors = off
and I modify in .htaccess
php_flag display_errors off
and i restart Apache server
but still the error display
I use xampp v3.2.4

Try putting following code at the start of your file to stop display error's in runtime
// Turn off all error reporting for your production environment
error_reporting(0);

You are not supposed to hide the error, you are supposed to fix it so it does not happen again. The message tells you that interior_image_name2 is missing from your table.
From what I can tell your SQL query throws an error, and at this point you application cannot continue because your expected result does not exist.
You either fix your SQL, or you try/catch to see if you have an result before you attempt to work with it.

http error 500 aws bitnami wordpress hosting [duplicate]

I am having an issue when I have a php application that is returning an internal server error (500) however nothing is showing up in the error log.
Now I know there are error with what I am trying to run, I know I have missing some files and what not but something should show in the apache error log (otherwise how are I supposed to know exactly what I am missing).
I created a test script is errors it in under the same vhost configuration and those error show up fine so everything seems configured right as far as php/apache. Are there certain php errors that does show up in the error log (php is configure to display any type of notice, warning, , error, fatal error, etc...)?
This is running on ubunut 10.04 with the standard apache and php from the ubuntu repo with apt-get.
Scan your source files to find #.
From php documentation site
Currently the "#" error-control operator prefix will even disable
error reporting for critical errors that will terminate script
execution. Among other things, this means that if you use "#" to
suppress errors from a certain function and either it isn't available
or has been mistyped, the script will die right there with no
indication as to why.
Copy and paste the following into a new .htaccess file and place it on your website's root folder :
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on
Errors will be shown directly in your page.
That's the best way to debug quickly but don't use it for long time because it could be a security breach.
If you still have 500 error and no logs you can try to execute from command line:
php -f file.php
it will not work exactly like in a browser (from server) but if there is syntax error in your code, you will see error message in console.
Maybe something turns off error output. (I understand that you are trying to say that other scripts properly output their errors to the errorlog?)
You could start debugging the script by determining where it exits the script (start by adding a echo 1; exit; to the first line of the script and checking whether the browser outputs 1 and then move that line down).
In the past, I had no error logs in two cases:
The user under which Apache was running had no permissions to modify php_error_log file.
Error 500 occurred because of bad configuration of .htaccess, for example wrong rewrite module settings. In this situation errors are logged to Apache error_log file.
For Symfony projects, be sure to check files in the project'es app/logs

Btw, other frameworks or CMS share this kind of behaviour.
Here is another reason why errors might not be visible:
I had the same issue. In my case, I had copied the source from a production environment. Hence the ENVIRONMENT variable defined in index.php was set to 'production'. This caused error_reporting to be set to 0 (no logging). Just set it to 'development' and you should start seeing error messages in apache log.
Turned out the 500 was due to a semi colon missing in database config :-)
Another case which happened to me, is I did a CURL to some of my pages, and got internal server error and nothing was in the apache logs, even when I enabled all error reporting.
My problem was that in the CURL I set
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
Which then didn't show me my error, though there was one, this happened because the error was on a framework level and not a PHP one, so it didn't appear in the logs.
You need to enable the PHP error log.
This is due to some random glitch in the web server when you have a php error, it throws a 500 internal error (i have the same issue).
If you look in the PHP error log, you should find your solution.
see here in the doc of how to enable it in the php.ini
Be sure your file permissions are correct. If apache doesn't have permission to read the file then it can't write to the log.
What happened for me when this was an issue, was that the site had used too much memory, so I'm guessing that it couldn't write to an error log or displayed the error. For clarity, it was a Wordpress site that did this. Upping the memory limit on the server showed the site again.
SOLVED
I struggled with this and later on, I realized that I was working on PHP 5.6, so I upgraded to PHP 7.0, then I released there were comments placed by git for conflicting codes. I found something like this in my code <<<<<<<< But solved it.

I've turned display_errors to On but I don't see any errors on the webpages

I'm trying to see what error PHP is producing. So I've changed the value of dispaly_errors to ON in the etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file.
The file doesn't display anything and I don't see any error on the webpages.
Am I missing any thing?
First, you have to make sure that this is your correct ini file. Usually the file you have used is the correct one. If not sure, you can create a simple PHP program to call the phpinfo() function and check this out.
Next, you have to restart Apache. Without a restart your settings don't take effect.
Another thing... This file can be a little misleading because there are so many comments in it. The actual line to change is way down. On my setup (LAMP/Ubuntu) the setting is on line 538.
Open php.ini file from your php folder, remove semicolon from all error reporting like
;error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT, ;display_errors=On etc, at last, restart your server, you will find all error messages.
Another way for showing error, you can write these codes in your script -
echo '<pre>';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
In addition to enabling display_errors, you may also need to set the error reporting level. if you are expecting errors with a script that is redirecting, be sure to turn off the redirection or you may never see them.

Changing where PHP logs syntax errors

How would I go about changing where PHP logs it's syntax errors? I've got multiple people working on the same server, and I want to be able to send my own logs to a custom file so that I'm not looking at every one else's errors.
I can do this:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
ini_set('error_log','path/to/mylogfile.log');
And that works for some errors, but for actual syntax errors, the logs are still being sent to the master /var/log/httpd/error_log. How do I make the syntax errors get sent to my custom log file?
Since the file cannot be correctly parsed, the ini_set function is not executed either and neither is the new error log set. You need to set php_value error_log /path/to/myfile.log in an .htaccess file or the global server config (I'm assuming that you're using Apache).
Given that syntax errors prevent PHP from running you will not be able to set log paths via PHP. It's a chicken before the egg situation.
Alternatives would be:
Change the error log at the webserver level
Enable output of error messages to the browser
I'd suggest the latter.

how to set apache error displayed on frontend?

when php scripts got error, the error usually goes to the apache error log (ubuntu setup).
how can i config the server so that the error will be directly output to the page, just like XAMPP is doing.
thanks in advance!
(the error i am referring to is php error. so that i can debug my php code easily)
display_errors = On
Put this line in your php.ini file.
If you just want to view the warnings and notices stick these two lines into the top of your php page
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','1');
What kind of error?
