Offers a remote endpoint to log real time PHP errors, for hosts that don't offer shell access and/or the ability to tail log files.

Description

While there are ways to capture logging for more restrictive hosts, such as using WP_DEBUG_LOG, it can be a hassle having to download and open the log file every time there's a new line.

Errrr allows the site to capture standard PHP error output (minus error_log()) and send it to a remote site where it can be used with tail to monitor real time PHP errors.

Since error_log() isn't captured, there is a helper function called errrr_log() that can be used instead to send arbitrary messages to the remote error log.

NOTE: This is a very insecure setup, please do not use any of this for a public or production site!

The setup is purposely very manual to make sure you know what you're doing.

Installation

On the Errrr endpoint site

1. Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

On the Errrr site to debug

1. Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

2. Edit your wp-config.php file to include() the Errrr code and set the remote URL:

/* Begin Errrr */
if ( file_exists( 'wp-content/plugins/Errrr/inc/err-wp-config.inc.php' ) ) {
    if ( ! defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) ) {
        define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
    }
    define( 'ERRRR_REMOTE', 'https://example.com/wp-json/webhooks/v1/errrr' );
    require_once( 'wp-content/plugins/Errrr/inc/err-wp-config.inc.php' );
}
/* End Errrr */
