Question

I’m triggering an error in my Symfony2 project like this:

trigger_error('message', E_USER_NOTICE);

How can I suppress this error, such that I don’t get a code 500 response but only get this notice logged with monolog?

Thanks

Using trigger_error is not the recommend way to trigger errors in Symfony2. The recommend way to trigger errors in Symfony2 is to use exceptions. In Symfony2 you can use the global exceptions and the exceptions created by the Symfony2 framework and even exceptions you created in a bundle:

<?php
// src/Acme/DemoBundle/Exception/FooException.php
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Exception;

class FooException extends \Exception
{
}

<?php
// src/Acme/DemoBundle/Controller/FooController.php

// ...
use Acme\DemoBundle\Exception\FooException;

// ...
public function barAction()
{
    // ... do something

    // throw an error
    throw new FooException('message');
}

But if you want to log something to a file you can better use one of the monolog.logger services (doctrine, event, profiler, request, router, security or templating). For more information, read the monolog documentation. You can also create your own Monolog logger, create a service and use that.
