Custom error handler

Custom error handler which emails the details of errors instead of displaying them in the browser.

<?
set_error_handler('error_handle');

function error_handle($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline){
// The email address to send the email to
$mail_to = 'developers@test.com';

// The email address the email comes from
$mail_from = 'errors@test.com';

// Extract the visitor's browser information
$browser = get_browser(null,true);

// Setup the content of the email
$mail_text  = 'Error '.$errno.' in '.$errfile.' (line '.$errline.'):'."\r\n".$errstr."\r\n"."\r\n";
$mail_text .= 'Current URL: '.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."\r\n";
$mail_text .= 'Visitor IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\r\n";
$mail_text .= 'Visitor Browser: '.$browser['browser'].' '.$browser['version'].' ('.$browser['platform'].')';

// Configure the email headers
$mail_headers = 'From: '.$mail_from."\r\n".'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();

// The subject of the email
$mail_subject = 'Error';

// Send the email
@mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_text, $mail_headers);
}
?>
