Dispatch an event if any error is occurred in Joomla

Question

Is there any way to dispatch an event and call a method when an error is occurred in joomla same as Zend ? I want to log those error in log file. I want to use a single method to catch every error. is it possible ?

Is there any other way to do this except JError, Please suggest.

To log errors to a file, you can use the following:

jimport('joomla.log.log');

// Log errors to specific file.
JLog::addLogger(
   array(
      'text_file' => 'mod_mymodule.errors.php'
   ),
   JLog::ALL,
   'mod_mymodule'
);

This will create the following and store all error there:

root/logs/mod_mymodule.errors.php

You can of course change mod_mymodule to whatever you wish.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer @Lodder. Can we make a generic logger class that will log the error of every module and component? – Abhijeet kumar sharma Mar 04 '14 at 11:44

If I understand your question right you can use JError class to get this done. You can raise error and handle them.

JError is deprecated though it is still used lots and lots of places where the switch to exceptions or messages has not been made. – Elin Mar 04 '14 at 11:56
