How to Log Database Error Messages in a Log.txt File Using PHP and MySQL | PHP Tutorial

In this video, I’ll show you how to handle database error messages securely by logging them into a file instead of displaying them to users. This approach ensures sensitive MySQL data remains protected while maintaining good error-handling practices.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Writing a log-database-error function to save error messages with timestamps.
Using mysqli_report and the @ operator to suppress error messages.
Logging both connection errors and query errors in a structured and secure manner.
Understanding how error handling differs between development and production environments.
We’ll test each step by simulating errors and reviewing the logged messages. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll know how to handle database errors like a pro.
