PHP: Ignoring errors and notices in a specific class

My site is completely custom, as such I like to know when I have poorly written code. I use set_exception_handler and set_error_handler to use custom classes to log errors to a file. This includes notices and warnings.

Within my own code, this is fine as I get very few logs and those that I do get are things I actually want to fix.

However, i've just started using simplePie and because it's PHP4 compatible I get tons of notices, primarily for things like calling functions statically or passing things by reference incorrectly.

It's too much for me to go through and fix simplePie, if it wasn't I wouldn't be using it in the first place.

Is there a way that I can specifically ignore errors generated by a certain file or class? Here's an overview of what of my very basic exception handling looks like:

    set_exception_handler("CustomExceptionHandler");
    set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");

    /**
     * CustomExceptionHandler()
     *
     * This is used if an exception is thrown that isn't caught.
     *
     * @param   object  $e  The exception as an object
     */
    function CustomExceptionHandler(Exception $e) {
        exitToError($e->getMessage());
    }

    /**
     * customErrorHandler()
     *
     * This is called for any errors no matter what their level.
     */
    function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
        if(in_array($errno, array(E_USER_ERROR, E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR))) {
            throw new CustomErrorException($errstr, 0, $errno, $errfile, $errline);
        } else {
            CustomException::logError($errstr, $errno, $errfile, $errline);
        }
        return FALSE;
    }

/**
     * class CustomErrorException
     *
     * Used by custom_error_handler() to convert all fatal
     * errors to exceptions.
     *
     * @see custom_error_handler()
     * @see http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.errorexception.php
     */
    class CustomErrorException extends CustomException {
        /**
         * $severity
         *
         * The severity level of the exception
         *
         * @access  protected
         * @var     int
         */
        protected $severity;

        /**
         * __construct()
         *

        public function __construct($message, $code = null, $severity = E_ERROR, $filename = null, $lineno= null) {
            $this->message  = $message;
            $this->code     = $code;

            $this->file     = $filename;
            $this->line     = $lineno;

            self::logError($this->message,$this->code,$this->file,$this->line,$this->getTraceAsString());
        }
    }

    /**

    }

and here is an example of two of the errors simplePie throws up:

[01-Aug-2010 00:50:33] Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ***\SimplePie.php:738
[01-Aug-2010 00:50:34] Non-static method SimplePie_Misc::parse_date() should not be called statically in ***\SimplePie.php:60

Is there a way that I can specifically ignore errors generated by a certain file or class?

Should be easy! You could check in your custom error handler

function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)

whether $errfile is in one of the simplePie files, and in that case return true; silently.

You could inspect the $errfile parameter passed to your error handler to see if the error originates from somewhere inside simplePie. Documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php

You have to remove these errors.
1. Remove & in assignments like $foo =& new Object()
2. You can't access method in statticly way if it's not a static method so instead Object::method() you should try using Object->method() or try to change function method() to static function method()

Or the best solution - try to find library in php5
