I've just started using mantis (v1.2.18) on a personal project and have set my php error and exception handlers to create issues when something melts down. I'm hoping there is an API that searches the current issues based on the summary so I can see if an issue already exists before creating it. My error creation code uses the SOAP API but if there's another way I'm open to that as well. Mantis and my site will be on the same server.
Followup question: If there is one, would it be possible to add a comment to the existing issue or perhaps update some sort of counter so I can quickly tell how often the error is occuring?
For the curious: I learned that duplicate issues is a problem when my error logging code threw an error. I got 42 emails before the recursion was detected and the server shut the script down.
