How do I suppress a specific error in php

Question

I want to suppress the timeout error in a script that is running automatically. The fact that the script is timing out is not a problem since it will be running again in a minute after the timeout. I DO want all other errors reported.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In case @nikic's answer is not what you are after, you can use

• set_error_handler — Sets a user-defined error handler function

to setup a custom error handler that can handle the particular error.

Answer 2

set_time_limit(0);

This will simply remove the timeout. Maybe that's enough?

Answer 3

function suppress_timeout() {
   if (connection_status() == CONNECTION_TIMEOUT) {
      // do your own thing here
   }
}

register_shutdown_function("suppress_timeout");
