In app\Mage.php under dispatchEvent function i have written Mage::log($name) before "return $result" to get events list executed on any action.

In System > Config if i save any field value i'm getting

Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached.

If i comment or remove Mage::log($name) its saving normally.

Could you please help me on why i'm getting this error when i write Mage::log($name)

I am not sure why logging that variable causes this but the error is due to xdebug, specifically the max_nesting_level being reached. You can probably get rid of the error by increasing this setting to something higher, say 200. http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#max_nesting_level

  • if i extend it to even 1000 also error repeats. so why logging a variable giving error? – prasad maganti Dec 30 '14 at 9:48
  • I remember this being an issue with how xDebug works and in combination to the way some of the internals of Magento are wired you will get this error. I either update the nesting level to 200+ or disable xdebug depending on the severity of the issue. – James Cowie Dec 30 '14 at 12:37
  • The $name variable should only be a string so I can't really see why it would cause an issue. possibly its just being called a lot. – Andrew Kett Jan 1 '15 at 3:23
  • also are you sure the new config is being loaded? – Andrew Kett Jan 1 '15 at 3:25

I just set more for xdebug in php.ini file below:

xdebug.max_nesting_level=200

It worked !

Here is a more explanation:

xdebug.max_nesting_level
Type: integer, Default value: 256
Controls the protection mechanism for infinite recursion protection. The value >of this setting is the maximum level of nested functions that are allowed >before >the script will be aborted.

Before Xdebug 2.3, the default value was 100.
