Whoops!

whoops is an error handler base/framework for PHP. Out-of-the-box, it provides a pretty error interface that helps you debug your web projects, but at heart it's a simple yet powerful stacked error handling system.

(current) Features

  • Flexible, stack-based error handling
  • Stand-alone library with (currently) no required dependencies
  • Simple API for dealing with exceptions, trace frames & their data
  • Includes a pretty rad error page for your webapp projects
  • Includes the ability to open referenced files directly in your editor and IDE
  • Includes handlers for different response formats (JSON, XML, SOAP)
  • Includes a Silex Service Provider for painless integration with Silex
  • Includes a Phalcon Service Provider for painless integration with Phalcon
  • Includes a Module for equally painless integration with Zend Framework 2
  • Easy to extend and integrate with existing libraries
  • Clean, well-structured & tested code-base

Installing

If you use Laravel 4, you already have Whoops. There are also community-provided instructions on how to integrate Whoops into Silex, Phalcon, Laravel 3, CakePHP, Zend Framework 2.

If you are not using any of these frameworks, here's a very simple way to install:

  1. Use Composer to install Whoops into your project:

    composer require filp/whoops:1
  2. Register the pretty handler in your code:

    $whoops = new \Whoops\Run;
    $whoops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler);
    $whoops->register();

For more options, have a look at the example files in examples/ to get a feel for how things work. Also take a look at the API Documentation and the list of available handers below.

Available Handlers

whoops currently ships with the following built-in handlers, available in the Whoops\Handler namespace:

  • PrettyPageHandler - Shows a pretty error page when something goes pants-up
  • CallbackHandler - Wraps a closure or other callable as a handler. You do not need to use this handler explicitly, whoops will automatically wrap any closure or callable you pass to Whoops\Run::pushHandler
  • JsonResponseHandler - Captures exceptions and returns information on them as a JSON string. Can be used to, for example, play nice with AJAX requests.
  • XmlResponseHandler - Captures exceptions and returns information on them as a XML string. Can be used to, for example, play nice with AJAX requests.
  • SoapResponseHandler - Captures exceptions and returns information on them as a SOAP string. Might be used for SOAP Webservices.

Authors

This library was primarily developed by Filipe Dobreira, and is currently maintained by Denis Sokolov. A lot of awesome fixes and enhancements were also sent in by various contributors.
