Sends you a detailed email when a CiviCRM fatal error occurs.

Report Error CiviCRM Extension

Sometimes CiviCRM can be real tough to debug. Especially when you are getting fatal errors, but only by some users, and you can't recreate the problems. This utility will send you a detailed email when a CiviCRM fatal error occurs.

• when the error was encountered
• which CiviCRM page threw the error
• which logged-in user encountered the error
• full request parameters ("get")
• optionally the "post" data

The extension can also offer to try to resolve some common errors:

• For contribution pages where the session has expired or the contribution page URL is truncated, you can choose to gracefully redirect CiviCRM errors to the site CMS default page, a specific contribution page or not at all. You also have the option of not getting emails on contribution page redirects (since crawlers can make them rather frequent).

• Detect bots and optionally generate a 404 http response instead of 'OK'.

Logging PEAR/DB errors

Some PEAR and database errors are handled by a separate handler of CiviCRM. For this extension to handle those errors, apply this patch:

diff --git a/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php b/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php
--- a/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php
+++ b/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php
@@ -221,6 +221,19 @@ class CRM_Core_Error extends PEAR_ErrorStack {

+    if ($config->fatalErrorHandler && function_exists($config->fatalErrorHandler)) {
+      $name = $config->fatalErrorHandler;
+      $vars = [
+        'pearError' => $pearError,
+      ];
+      $ret = $name($vars);
+      if ($ret) {
+        // the call has been successfully handled
+        // so we just exit
+        self::abend(CRM_Core_Error::FATAL_ERROR);

(this patches the handle($pearError) function)
