[SOLVED] Help with Errors.

Well,  when I make a error notice in my software say if I use die or exit it shuts the html off I was wonder how can I stop this flaw,should I just make header/footer file and include them then running a error.

If you want your scripts to still run when an error occurs the don't use die or exit. just echo the error message and the rest of the code in your script will continue to run.

Well for example:  The header will show, then I tell the user if hes banned it will show the message but not the rest of the html(rest of the script,footer) so the footer is cut off completely.  ( I was thinking maybe a redirect or something I not sure what Ill do).

Yeah...there isn't a way to get to your footer then. I just did what you said about putting the footer in another file and including it after the errors.

or, rather than using the die() function, you could write your own function to handle the error. Eg;

 

function error_handler($error){

echo "Formatting, layout etc.";

echo $error;

die();

}

 

And then just use error_handler("Something bad happened") in your code instead of die() or exit.

 

 

The whole point of the die() function is to stop executing all code right there and the. If a die() function is executed, the script does just that, it dies.

 

Edit: Forgot to put the die() in the function...without that, it'll output your error and then try to continue executing any code that it hasn't executed yet.
