show_error() and logging

[eluser]steelaz[/eluser]
I was always under impression that show_error() displays AND logs the error, Today I found out that's not the case. Is there a config key/value to log error when show_error() is used?

Look in your /application/config/config.php file.

Code:

$config['log_threshold'] = 0;

I always keep "log_threshold" at 1. Which level is required for show_error() to be logged?

[strike]I dont know for a fact whether this will help but worth a go:

if you look in the config.php file there is a log_threshold key usually set to 2 by default. Is yours set high enough?[/strike]

Ignore sorry

If you read the show_errors() code, it looks like it does not log anything.. its purpose it to show an error to the screen using a template defined in the system\application\errors directory.

see the Exceptions.php file to find the function, you could always extend the library to log the message.

Yep, that's what I did.
