PHP Error Messages as String in a Variable

[Benjamin Dickgießer]

Hi,
Can I put all errors which PHP outputs when error_reporting(E_ALL); is
activated into a variable? I want to react if an error occurs.
I'm working on a Script to check if an ftp is running or not. The only way
to get the error message of the ftp when the connection fails is if
error_reporting(E_WARNING); or error_reporting(E_ALL); is activated. I want
to format the Error Message. E.g. The errormessage is:
Warning: ftp_login() [function.ftp-login]: Sorry, Over 2 connection not
allow in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\scripts\vbb_ftp.php on line 13.

I only want this output: "Status: Sorry, Over 2 connection not allow "
Thx for your help!

You can trap the errors with an error handling function see
set_errror_handler()

It seems to me that checking the error return from the function would be
easier.
