Script execution stops at any error!

[Bruno Cassol]

Hi,
first of all, FirePHP is a great tool!

I'm having some difficulties making it work. This is how I'm setting it up:

ob_start();

ini_set('scream.enabled', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);

require_once('FirePHPCore/FirePHP.class.php');
$firephp = FirePHP::getInstance(true);
$firephp->registerErrorHandler();
$firephp->registerExceptionHandler();
$firephp->registerAssertionHandler();

Then in the middle of the script, when I try triggering any error it simply flushes the output buffer and apparently stops executing because nothing more is shown in the browser. FirePHP headers are being sent:

$firephp->warn('This is shown in FireBug console');
trigger_error('This ISN'T shown in firebug console', E_ERROR);  // Apparently script stops executing here

When I remove the trigger_error() the scripts execute with success. So I guess the error handler is causing the problem.

I'm using Apache 2 with PHP 5.2.6-3 on Ubuntu.
Any help?

I found the solution!

I changed this line from:

$firephp->registerErrorHandler();

To:

$firephp->registerErrorHandler(false);

I was telling FirePHP to throw exceptions on errors. I don't understand why that is the default behavior tough.

I hope this helps someone.

Good to hear it is working now.

The default behavior was inherited to keep backwards compatibility but I think I am going to change that now.
