Check for PHP7.2 readyness

[René H4]

I's like to check if my site is running without errors.

They are probably blinded out now, whilst it has been running for 1,5 year on 7.2 now.

What would I need to do to enable error-reporting (want to do this for just a short time)

Running Bootstrap Frozen (May '18) patched up to march this year.

My application_top.php starts like this:

<?php
/*
  $Id$

  osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
  http://www.oscommerce.com

  Copyright (c) 2014 osCommerce

  Released under the GNU General Public License
*/

// start the timer for the page parse time log
  define('PAGE_PARSE_START_TIME', microtime());

// set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
  
  if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }

do you really want to see everything?

comment out

 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
  
  if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }

with

/* error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
  
  if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }*/
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','1');

though this may still be overridden via the php.ini master setting

@René H4 if it is just the deprecated stuff you want to be able to see then just comment out the deprecated part

 /* if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }*/
ini_set('display_errors','1');

Will try this, thanks!

If it's a live site, you might be better to use:

ini_set("log_errors", 1);
ini_set("error_log", __DIR__."/php-error.".date('ymd').".log");

instead of

ini_set('display_errors','1');

This will write all the errors to a log file - and create a new file every day if you forget to turn it off again, so it doesn't get too huge!

[René H4]

Sorry guys, but I am confused now. I indeed would like to log.

Is this the correct symtax?

// set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
  
/*  if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }*/
ini_set("log_errors", 1);
ini_set("error_log", __DIR__."/php-error.".date('ymd').".log");

I ask because my site stops working when I change to the above.....

The error message in the log is:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '??' (T_COALESCE), expecting end of file in /var/www/vhosts/myshop/httpdocs/includes/application_top.php on line 22\n',

@René H4 try

ini_set("error_log", "name_of_directory/php-error.".date('ymd').".log");

@René H4 Did you copy and paste if so try just typing it as sometimes copy and paste introduces errors
