Errbit & Airbrake Client for PHP
Since flippa deleted his repository we republished it so we can keep using it
This is a full-featured client to add integration with Errbit (or Airbrake)
to any PHP >= 5.3 application., (*1)
We had a number of issues with the
php-airbrake-notifier
client, so we wrote this, based on the actual airbrake gem., (*2)
The php-airbrake-notifier client would regularly try to send invalid XML
to the Airbrake service and did not work at all with Errbit (the free,
self-hosted Airbrake-compatible application)., (*3)
Installation
We haven't put this in PEAR or anything like that (please feel to contribute)
so you need to install it locally., (*4)
git clone git@github.com:sumocoders/errbit-php.git
Composer
Just add the line below into your composer.json-file in the require-part:, (*5)
composer require sumocoders/errbit-php
If you use the line above you won't need to require anything, everything will
be autoloaded through the composer-autoloader, (*6)
Usage
The intended way to use the notifier is as a singleton, though this is not
enforced and you may instantiate multiple instances if for some bizarre
reason you need to, or the word singleton makes you cry unicorn tears., (*7)
``` php
require_once 'errbit-php/lib/Errbit.php';, (*8)
Errbit::instance()
->configure(array(
'api_key' => 'YOUR API KEY',
'host' => 'YOUR ERRBIT HOST, OR api.airbrake.io FOR AIRBRAKE',
'port' => 80, // optional
'secure' => false, // optional
'project_root' => '/your/project/root', // optional
'environment_name' => 'production', // optional
'params_filters' => array('/password/', '/card_number/'), // optional
'backtrace_filters' => array('#/some/long/path#' => '') // optional
))
->start();, (*9)
This will install error handlers that trap your PHP errors (according to
your `error_reporting` settings) and log them to Errbit.
If you want to notify an exception manually, you can call `notify()`.
``` php
try {
somethingErrorProne();
} catch (Exception $e) {
Errbit::instance()->notify(
$e,
array('controller'=>'UsersController', 'action'=>'show')
);
}
Using your own error handler
If you don't want Errbit to install its own error handlers and prefer to use
your own, you can just leave out the call to start()
, then wherever you
catch an Exception (note the errors must be converted to Exceptions), simply
call, (*10)
``` php
Errbit::instance()->notify($exception);, (*11)
## Using only some of the default handlers
There are three error handlers installed by Errbit: exception, error and fatal.
By default all three are used. If you want to use your own for some handlers,
but not for others, pass the list into the `start()` method.
``` php
Errbit::instance()->start(array('error', 'fatal')); // using our own exception handler
TODO
Some tests would be nice., (*12)
