PHP user_error() Function

Complete PHP Error Reference

Definition and Usage

The user_error() function creates a user-defined error message.

The user_error() function is used to trigger an error message at a user-specified condition. It can be used with the built-in error handler, or with a user defined function set by the set_error_handler() function.

This function is useful when you need a user-defined message to a specified condition when running a script runtime.

This function returns FALSE if a non valid error type is specified, and TRUE otherwise.

This function is an alias of the trigger_error() function.

Syntax

user_error(error_message,error_types)

Example

<?php
$test=2;
if ($test>1)
{
user_error("A custom error has been triggered");
}
?>

The output of the code above should be something like this:

Notice: A custom error has been triggered
in C:\webfolder\test.php on line 6
