Tracing fatal error in php

[letom]

Thanks i don't think i can upload that contents and trace out the error by you, because it have 35 more files with 1000 of lines it's time wasting for you.
Any software avail to get detailed information about it

I haven't used any but Google:

https://www.google.com/search?client...gging+php+code

lists several.

Thanks dear..

That means you cannot give assurance over that ?

That's right. You can click on some of the links. The one for Stack Overflow is a discussion. Folks in there seemed to prefer NetBeans. But I downloaded it once and didn't find it all that useful, or maybe it required something I didn't want to install, I'm not sure. But I never used it. There was another one in that discussion that was seen as favorable, I think it was PHPed or something like that. I'd never heard of it before.

There's also an add on for Chrome which looks promising. I may try that at some point as I like Chrome.

I rarely have an error in PHP that I can't figure out from the on screen error in the browser. If I do, I will use some of the more basic techniques mentioned in the Stack Overflow thread, like temporarily adding an echo or print_r to get the value of something at that point in the code that might be the problem. I might even have the PHP script write to a file at key points for diagnostics, so as to not disturb the script too much.

But usually just the error itself and its location in the code, perhaps with a little research on the error description, is enough for me to figure it out. Most often I see deprecated functions that are relatively easy to update (or in some cases just drop), that and syntax/spelling errors.

I think that using a PHP debug program requires that it be integrated into the server, and for most things seems to require an understanding of break points. Something I haven't gotten around to yet. I'm sure once I do I will find them useful. They're available for javascript debugging as well in some browser's developer tools. Generally I find that my knowledge of javascript allows me to spot things, often without even using the error/web console(s). It's like a sixth sense.

Yes Jon
I know it is a spelling error or may be a syntax.

Can u tell me the name of that plugin?

letom,

I think we're at the point where no one will be able to help you further if you don't share the error message.

I was just saying what I usually find, and that (spelling/syntax) as well as the other things I mentioned, of course require no elaborate debugging program.

The Chrome plugin is called, PHP Console, and is located:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...nnkolmclajemef

It's like others though in that it needs to be configured to the server, and involves the use and understanding of break points for at least a part of its functionality.

Jon & Adrian
this is the error iam getting. can u explain these non-object / error?
Call to a member function makeAdmin() on a non-object
if u go to goog with this error you will only get a drupal result

That means that makeAdmin() is a method of a class, but the class isn't instantiated. For example:

<?php
# create a new object from myClass
$myObject = new myClass();

# use the myClass::someMethod()
$myObject->someMethod();

...but what if there was a problem creating the object? or you accidentally overwrite the variable? If something lie that goes wrong, then you're trying to use a method on an object (or not-an-object) that doesn't have that method:

<?php

# say you had a typo
$meObject->someMethod();
# Fatal error: call to member function someMethod() on a non-object

# or assigned the variable to something else
$myObject = "hello, world!";
$myObject->someMethod();
# Fatal error: call to member function someMethod() on a non-object

that's the kind of thing you need to be looking for.

Absolutely Mr Adrain ... You gave a right support.
The fact is i overwrite a variable in all parts of my program ($entity) to ($myprojectname).. i missed one $entity in some where else in code.
Is changing the name of variable to a complicated name will provide any additional security to the application directly/indirectly ?
suppose $event is a common name , changing it to $eventyutr or something else...
