phpredis session locking -- failing to get lock throws php notice -- would like fatal error

Question

When using php redis as a session handler with session locking if there is an error where a lock cannot happen a php notice is thrown and the script continues. Is there a way to configure it for a fatal error and the script NOT process at all?

Answer 1

In case anyone wants to know the exact code for turning session_lock notice into fatal error; here it is. (I couldn't have done it without the other answer, but this is exactly what I used)

function redisNoticeFunction($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, array $errcontext) 
{
    // is the error E_NOTICE?
    if ($errno === E_NOTICE) 
    {
        // if error was suppressed with the @-operator
        if (0 === error_reporting()) 
        {
            // do nothing, continue execution of script
            return;
        }
    
        // if notice was about about Redis locking
        if ($errstr == 'session_start(): Acquire of session lock was not successful') 
        {
            $error_msg = 'Redis locking problem with notice msg: ' . $errstr;
            $error_msg .= ' at ' . $errfile . ':' . $errline . \PHP_EOL;

            // signal fatal error
            $error_type = E_USER_ERROR;
            trigger_error ($error_msg, $error_type);
        }
        return;
    }
}

$current_error_reporting = error_reporting();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_error_handler('redisNoticeFunction');


session_start();
//Use regular error handling if session_start() does not end in a lock
restore_error_handler();
error_reporting($current_error_reporting);
