Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

Extending the error and exception handling

If you want to register your own error or exception handler, simply include the class and insert its name into "productionExceptionHandler", "debugExceptionHandler" or "errorHandler":

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['errorHandler'] = 'myOwnErrorHandler';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['debugExceptionHandler'] = 'myOwnDebugExceptionHandler';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['productionExceptionHandler'] = 'myOwnProductionExceptionHandler';

An error or exception handler class must register an error (exception) handler in its constructor. Have a look at the files in EXT:core/Classes/Error/ to see how this should be done.

If you want to use the built-in error and exception handling but extend it with your own functionality, simply derive your class from the error and exception handling classes shipped with TYPO3 and register this class as error (exception) handler:

class tx_postExceptionsOnTwitter extends \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Error\DebugExceptionHandler {
    function echoExceptionWeb(Exception $exception) {
        $this->postExceptionsOnTwitter($exception);
    }
    function postExceptionsOnTwitter($exception) {
        // do it ;-)
    }
}
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['debugExceptionHandler'] = 'tx_postExceptionsOnTwitter';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['productionExceptionHandler'] = 'tx_postExceptionsOnTwitter';
