without_scope

Over the years of Rails work I’ve been using a few services that I consider indispensable now. Hoptoad is one of those tools. It beats the hell out of pretty much every cobbled together error notifier I’ve seen. I can’t see launching an application without it.

The Horror

Sometimes, I need to work with PHP. It’s not pleasant but, there it is. One of the things I did to make this a bit more palatable is hack together a Hoptoad notifier for PHP. Recently, with some help from Lou Kosak, I’ve cleaned the code up a bit and think it might be useful in other projects now.

Grab it

You can find the code at http://github.com/rich/php-hoptoad-notifier. Just drop the Hoptoad.php file somewhere in your include_path and include the following code somewhere early in your application:

require_once('Hoptoad.php');

Hoptoad::installHandlers("YOUR_HOPTOAD_API_KEY");
