$page->error() method

Record an non-fatal error message in the system-wide notices.

  • This method automatically identifies the error as coming from this class.
  • You should still make fatal errors throw a WireException (or class derived from it).

Example

$this->error("This is the notice text"); 
$this->error("This notice is also logged", true);
$this->error("This notice is only shown in debug mode", Notice::debug);
$this->error("This notice allows <em>markup</em>", Notice::allowMarkup);
$this->error("Notice using multiple flags", Notice::debug | Notice::logOnly);

Usage

// basic usage
$page->error($text);

// usage with all arguments
$page->error($text, $flags = 0);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
textstring, array, Wire

  • Notice::allowMarkdown (constant): Allow basic markdown and bracket markup (see $sanitizer->entitiesMarkdown()).
  • Notice::allowMarkup (constant): Indicates notice should allow the use of HTML markup tags.
  • Notice::debug (constant): Indicates notice should only be shown when debug mode is active.
  • Notice::log (constant): Indicates notice should also be logged.
  • Notice::logOnly (constant): Indicates notice should only be logged.

  • Notice::prepend (constant): Indicates notice should prepend rather than append.
  • Notice::superuser (constant): Show notice only if current user is a superuser.
  • true (boolean): Shortcut for the Notice::log constant.
  • In 3.0.149+ you may also specify a space-separated string of flag names, i.e. "admin log noGroup".

“We were really happy to build our new portfolio website on ProcessWire! We wanted something that gave us plenty of control on the back-end, without any bloat on the front end - just a nice, easy to access API for all our content that left us free to design and build however we liked.” —Castus, web design agency in Sheffield, UK
