Question

I have code like this

try {
    header("Location: http://www.google.com\n-abc");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    error_log(print_r($_POST, true));
    error_log(print_r($_GET, true));
    error_log(print_r($_SERVER, true));
}

Without the try {} catch {} block, I can see the POST, GET and SERVER variables in my error_log, but with the try {} catch {} block, I only see the default PHP error.

1. Is there a way to show the POST, GET, and SERVER variables in a try {} catch {} block?
2. Is there a way to have PHP include POST, GET, and SERVER variables for ALL errors that get logged to file and not just wherever I have added error_log(print_r($_POST, true)); ….?

Answer 1

But default PHP functions like header will not throw exceptions.

If you want them to throw exceptions you will need to set the error handler to use ErrorException:

function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline ) {
    throw new ErrorException($errstr, $errno, 0, $errfile, $errline);
}
set_error_handler("exception_error_handler");
