PHP… Simple Error Checking…

The below code is an example of providing some debug information by both email and logging the information to a file in “/var/logs/”.

define("CURRENT_FILE", "thisfile.php");
define("LOG_FILE_LOCATION", "/var/log/");

function log_file($error1, $error2, $file) {
	$ok = true;
	// $file = "logile.txt";
		if ($fh = fopen($file, 'a')) {
	$ok = true;

		$conf = "$error1 - $error2\n";

		} else { 
		$ok = false;
		$conf = "";
		}

	if (fwrite($fh, $conf)) {
		$ok = true;
	} else {
	$ok = false;
	}
	if (fclose($fh)) {
		$ok = true;
		} else {
		$ok = false;
	}
}

function error_notifications($error) {
/*

Usage - print error_notifications("" . CURRENT_FILE . " - FUNCTION-NAME - ERROR\n");

*/
	print "$error";
	$datetime = date('d-m-y--H-i');

$name = "System Error Notification";
    $email = "root@something";

    $text = "
=========================
System Error Notification
=========================
An Error has occurd with the system, the error is listed below:-\n
Date And Time Stamp - $datetime\n
$error
Regards,
The System.
";

    $sendthisto = "user@domain.com, root";

	if (mail($sendthisto, 'System Error Notification', $text, 'From: ' . $name . ' ')) {
		print "Error Notification Email Sent\n";
		log_file("$datetime - Email Sent", "$error", "".LOG_FILE_LOCATION."Custom_Error_Notifications.txt");
	} else {
			print "can not email, writing error to log file\n";
		if (log_file("$datetime - Email Failed", "$error", "".LOG_FILE_LOCATION."Custom_Error_Notifications.txt") == true ) {
				Print "completed ok";
			} else {
				print "$datetime - BIG FUCKING PROBLEMS WITH SYSTEM LOGGING!!!";
		}
	}
}
