# Error/Exception Handling
Kohana provides both an exception handler and an error handler that transforms errors into exceptions using PHP's [ErrorException](http://php.net/errorexception) class. Many details of the error and the internal state of the application is displayed by the handler:
1. Exception class
2. Error level
3. Error message
4. Source of the error, with the error line highlighted
5. A [debug backtrace](http://php.net/debug_backtrace) of the execution flow
6. Included files, loaded extensions, and global variables
## Example

## Disabling Error/Exception Handling
If you do not want to use the internal error handling, you can disable it (highly discouraged) when calling [Kohana::init]:
Kohana::init(array('errors' => FALSE));
## Error Reporting
By default, Kohana displays all errors, including strict mode warnings. This is set using [error_reporting](http://php.net/error_reporting):
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
When you application is live and in production, a more conservative setting is recommended, such as ignoring notices:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
If you get a white screen when an error is triggered, your host probably has disabled displaying errors. You can turn it on again by adding this line just after your `error_reporting` call:
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
Errors should **always** be displayed, even in production, because it allows you to use [exception and error handling](debugging.errors) to serve a nice error page rather than a blank white screen when an error happens.
## HTTP Exception Handling
Kohana comes with a robust system for handing http errors. It includes exception classes for each http status code. To trigger a 404 in your application (the most common scenario):
throw HTTP_Exception::factory(404, 'File not found!');
To register error pages for these, using 404 as an example:
class HTTP_Exception_404 extends Kohana_HTTP_Exception_404 {
public function get_response()
{
$response = Response::factory();
$view = View::factory('errors/404');
// We're inside an instance of Exception here, all the normal stuff is available.
$view->message = $this->getMessage();
$response->body($view->render());
return $response;
}
}
