Don't log 404 errors in error log - mrtomtom - 12-04-2017
On our live site we get a lot of 404 errors from our site been probed by bots looking for phpMyAdmin/wordpress etc. This is filling up our log files with loads of "404 Page Not Found: Phpmyadmin2015/index" etc.
What's the best way to stop any 404 errors being logged into our log files?
Many thanks!

Not sure if my question is not clear or if it's just nobody knows?!

I assume you are talking about the logs that CodeIgniter creates and not server or php logs.
Perhaps the least hackish way would be to extend the core class CI_Exceptions and override the method show_404. All the override has to do is call the parent method setting the second parameter to false.
The whole class definition is simple.
/application/core/MY_Exceptions.php
PHP Code:
class MY_Exceptions extends CI_Exceptions
{
public function show_404($page = '', $log_error = TRUE)
{
parent::show_404($page, FALSE);
}
}
The hack way to accomplish your goal is to modify CodeIgniter.php and change line 494 (version 3.1.6) from
PHP Code:
show_404($RTR->directory.$class.'/'.$method);
PHP Code:
show_404($RTR->directory.$class.'/'.$method, FALSE);
