  • 0

I have some idea with error handling in PHP – way to immediately get to place in code where error occurred.

I have written error handler to catch PHP errors, which loads file, that caused an error and displays +/- few lines of code from that file. It also mark line where error occurred and print stack trace, like this:

Now, I have an idea, to provide some link (a href=) like other than http protocols (torrent:// or sth), like “netbeans://C:/some/file.php@110” which will put me back into NetBeans editor, open file where error occurred and put cursor in line, which caused a error.

Any ideas how to achieve that goal ?

    What you need to do is register a custom url protocol. The techniques depend on the underlying operating system. here’s is an example for windows. By opening NetBeans with a system call and the --open [filename] argument, you can open the file in question. However, that way you won’t be able to go to a specific line.

    In order to do so, you need to use the NetBeans API. If needed, you can use JNBridge to access Java functionality from .NET languages (which you’d need for windows).

    All in all, it won’t be easy and not cross-platform. A much easier way to go is to use xDebug on the server side and implement the library in the NetBeans editor, which will allow a lot more functionality than what you currently try to accomplish (stack traces, Jumping in Code, Stepping, variable views, … – just to name a few). There seems to be a started proposal on this for the NetBeans editor.

    If you do not care to switch the editor, you can check out Eclipse PHP Development Tools (Eclipse PDT), which has the debugger already implemented. Check out this article on the setup instructions.
