Hello,

Slim framework does not include an e-mail component by itself, but you can use an external component like PHPMailer or SwiftMailer.

To send an e-mail on errors, create a service to send out the e-mail and register this in the container. Then override the Slim error handlers (see documentation) to call the notification service.

A minimal example application is given below.

As an alternative, you can look into applications like LogStash and Nagios to analyze the log files and send notifications.

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$container = new Slim\Container();

// register e-mail error notifier in container
$container['errorNotifier'] = function($container) {
    return function(\Exception $e) {
        $mail = new PHPMailer();
        // configure mail (port, address) 
        // ...

        $mail->Subject = 'An exception occurred in slim application';
        $mail->Body = '<p>An exception occurred: <tt>'.htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()).'</tt></p>';

        $mail->send();
    };
};

// replace the error handler with an error handler that calls the notifier service and then the default error handler
$defaultErrorHandler = $container['errorHandler'];
unset($container['errorHandler']);
$container['errorHandler'] = function($container) use ($defaultErrorHandler) {
    return function($request, $response, $exception) use($container, $defaultErrorHandler) {
        $container['errorNotifier']($exception); // send e-maiil to notify that an exception occurred

        return $defaultErrorHandler($request, $response, $exception); // call default error handler
    };
};

// also replace the error handler for PHP errors (PHP 7 only)
$defaultPhpErrorHandler = $container->get('phpErrorHandler');
unset($container['phpErrorHandler']);
$container['phpErrorHandler'] = function($container) use($defaultPhpErrorHandler) {
    return function($request, $response, $exception) use($container, $defaultPhpErrorHandler) {
        $container['errorNotifier']($exception); // send e-maiil to notify that an exception occurred

        return $defaultPhpErrorHandler($request, $response, $exception); // call default error handler
    };
};

$app = new Slim\App($container);

$app->get('/', function($request, $response) {
    // trigger an error
    throw new \Exception('Oops it went wrong.');
});

$app->run();

Hello,

I haven’t worked with Slim version 2, so I can’t give you an example. The Slim 2 documentation may help you. The approach is the same for Slim 2 and Slim 3:
