In CodeIgniter, an error reporting log is a useful feature that helps you keep track of any errors or exceptions in your application. By default, error logging is disabled in CodeIgniter, but you can enable it easily by modifying the configuration file.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable and disable error logs in CodeIgniter applications.
There are the following ways to enable and disable error reporting log:
- Enabling Error Reporting Logging
- Disabling Error Reporting Logging
Enabling Error Reporting Logging
To enable error logging in CodeIgniter, follow these steps:
- Open the
application/config/config.phpfile in a text editor. - Find the following line:
$config['log_threshold'] = 0;- This line sets the threshold level for logging errors. The default value is 0, which means that error logging is disabled.
- Change the value of
log_thresholdto a higher number to enable error logging. For example, you can set it to 1 to log only critical errors, or to 2 to log all errors, warnings, and notices. Here’s an example:$config['log_threshold'] = 2;
- Save the
config.phpfile. - Now, any errors that occur in your application will be logged to the
application/logsfolder.
Disabling Error Reporting Logging
If you want to disable error logging in CodeIgniter, you can set the log_threshold value to 0. Follow these steps:
