[TYPO3-dev] t3lib_error_Exception

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi,

I have a problem with the new error and exception handling.

EXT:phpmyadmin always causes a warning instead of the login prompt:  
Warning: ob_start() [ref.outcontrol]: output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot  
be used after 'URL-Rewriter' in  
/kunden/220702_81827/webseiten/fw-devel-4.3/typo3_src/typo3/init.php line  
435

This was no problem before, but now TYPO3 dies with typo3PrintError()  
(with displayErrors != 2). While the site was usable before, it now isn't.  
Is this what we really want (to die on every PHP warning)?

I'm a bit unhappy with the ProductionErrorHandler (I know, there were  
already so many discussions), but why has a user-(=visitor)-friendly error  
message a title "t3lib_error_Exception" and as text the raw PHP warning  
text. I'd expect

    "We're sorry, but our page is currently not available"

or sth. like this. So we get back to times, when TYPO3 outputted only  
geek-understandable words (using default settings).

What I really like is, how easy it should be to extend  
ProductionErrorHandler with an own one styled in corporate design, but I'm  
unhappy with the default :(

Are there concrete plans to refurbish the typo3PrintError() stuff for 4.3  
or what's your opinion of a user-friendly error handler?

What do you consider the appropriate setting for displayErrors in  
production context? What happens with value 0? Is there a blank page in  
case of an Exception? So if we have an ProductionErrorHandler, I'd say we  
should use it to give an explanation/excuse and not hide all its warnings.

Just some thoughts..

Regards
Steffen
