Guys Is there a code that can count how many times user got error message on the same page?

Please anyone how can I count how many times error message showed!

if //something 
{
error("some error");
}

Maybe update something every time error shows like:

if //something 
{
error("some error");
//update something or set something
}

What type of error are you looking at counting?

PHP errors, I'm not sure about, you could always use a service like New Relic to monitor them.

If you're wanting to monitor calls to the error() function, there is a plugin hook there that you can use to do something like logging the user+message or something:

$plugins->add_hook('error', 'log_error');
function log_error($e) {
    global mybb;
    $log = "{$mybb->user['name']}: {$e}";
    // Then write $log to a file or the database or something.
}

Thanks buddy I am trying to create a plugin that will block users for X hours if they get 5 errors during creating of new thread! Something similar to login attempt redirect!

The plugin I have basically checks for URLs in posts and if it finds one it returns inline error you know the error shows on the same page!

There is a Hook in the function error.

$plugins->add_hook('error', 'logger');

However, i don't think this is what you need.

What kind of errors you wish to log? ALL ERRORS or only those which redirect you to a new page that is handled by mybb's error function?

If you to log those errors that cause redirection, then the above hook will work for you.
just create a function:

function logger()
{
     if(!isset($mybb->cookies['myplugin_errors']))
     {
           $count = 0;
     }
     else
     {
           $count = $mybb->cookies['myplugin_errors'];
     }
     $expiry = TIME_NOW + (60*60*24);  // Expiry = 1 day
     my_setcookie("myplugin_errors", "{$count}", $expiry, true);
}

Then you can place a global hook to check if the cookie's value is > 5.

I hope i helped

Checking if error() was called during thread creating seems like a bit of a roundabout way of doing it, why not make the code part of the actual URL-checking plugin instead of trying to monitor its output?

I read your post again, looks like you are talking about inline errors. So just hook into some Newthread hook and use the code i gave above.

Also, please add $count++. I forgot to add it, to increment your errors

Thanks you so much yeah I am talking about inline errors! Please where do I add this "$count++" and how to make this code block people after they get 5 inline errors?

Damn Marcus! You need to learn baby!

Here:

function logger()
{
     if(!isset($mybb->cookies['myplugin_errors']))
     {
           $count = 0;
     }
     else
     {
           $count = $mybb->cookies['myplugin_errors'];
     }
     $count++;
     $expiry = TIME_NOW + (60*60*24);  // Expiry = 1 day
     my_setcookie("myplugin_errors", "{$count}", $expiry, true);
} 

Now, this function will log your error count in the cookie "myplugin_errors". Therefore you can check anywhere this conditon:

if($mybb->cookies['myplugin_errors'] > 5)
{
/* Go to hell, User */
}

Thanks very much man I am sorry for being so dumb with PHP but I am learning it on my own. Your help is very appreciated

How do I implement your code into mine?

$regex = "some filter";

    if(preg_match($regex, $post->data['message'], $match))
    {
        error("some error");
      }
