Error handling

[pernest]

Hi,

 

I am new to error handling, (Usually I just don't bother!).

 

I have been trying to use the set_error_handler function to create a custom error handler, it works nicely for simple errors. However with the following error (resulting from using up too much memory whilst processing an image), it doesn't get called.

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 31457280 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3800 bytes)

 

Is there any way I can handle this sort of error?

 

Many thanks

My gut feeling is that this is an error outside of php, the server squealing and not the script. If it is, is there anything I can do to handle this error elegantly?

After a little more digging, it turns out that the error is a php error, but that it can't be handled by a custom error handler.
