(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0)

error_get_last — Get the last occurred error

Description

array error_get_last ( void )

Gets information about the last error that occured.

Return Values

Returns an associative array describing the last error with keys "type", "message", "file" and "line". Returns NULL if there hasn't been an error yet.

Examples

Example #1 An error_get_last() example

<?php
echo $a;
print_r(error_get_last());
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [type] => 8
    [message] => Undefined variable: a
    [file] => C:\WWW\index.php
    [line] => 2
)

Like $php_errormsg, the return value of this function may not be updated if a user-defined error handler returns non-FALSE. Tested on PHP 5.2.6.

<?php
var_dump
(PHP_VERSION);
// Outputs: string(5) "5.2.6"

@trigger_error("foo");
$e=error_get_last();
var_dump($e['message']);
// Outputs: string(3) "foo"

set_error_handler(create_function('$a,$b',''));

@
trigger_error("bar");
$e=error_get_last();
var_dump($e['message']);
// Outputs: string(3) "foo"

set_error_handler(create_function('$a,$b','return false;'));

@
trigger_error("baz");
$e=error_get_last();
var_dump($e['message']);
// Outputs: string(3) "baz"
?>

It can't be completely reset, but you can "clear" it well enough for all practical purposes:
<?php
@trigger_error("");
// do stuff...
$e=error_get_last();
if(
$e['message']!==''){
   
// An error occurred
}
?>

This function is pretty useless, as it can not be reset, so there is no way to know if the error really happened on the line before this function call.
