@Carlos: Thanks for the hint! I modified the article so it now works with CakePHP 1.2, too. With those changes, the error should disappear. Good luck!

Does anyone has problems with the code? i’m getting a error on:
$this->__dispatch->start($this->controller);

@handsofaten: What happens if you comment out those calls to the Html helper? My guess is that the Html helper doesn’t get loaded and that this causes the blank page.

Btw: Which version of cake do you use?

typical header stuff:

echo $html->charset();
echo $html->meta(‘icon’);

echo $html->css(‘bluestar’);
echo $html->css(‘lightbox’);

echo $scripts_for_layout;

@handsofaten: What follows after the closed title tag in your layout?

Thanks for the reply, baker. No, $content_for_layout is there. It prints $title_for_layout as “Errors”, closes the title tag, and then stops. All I really want is a simple 404 message.

@handsofaten: Hm, it is strange that you get blank pages. Theoretically, you should get a “Not found” error message. Did you remove $content_for_layout from the default layout?

Quick question related to this… when I set debug to 0 (in CakePHP 1.2 RC2), all malformed urls show up as blank pages with the title “Errors” — how can I just get a 404 message to appear? I tried putting “error404.thtml” into the app/views/errors folder, but that didn’t seem to do anything.

thanks.

@dezpo: No, the ErrorHandler resp. AppError class is only thought for handling cake-specific error situations like missing view, missing controller, etc. For handling PHP errors have a look at the error handling functions of PHP. Hope that helps!

and is it possible to handle PHP errors and notices?
