error_get_last

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

error_get_last — Get the last occurred error

Description

function error_get_last(): ?array

Gets information about the last error that occurred.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

Returns an associative array describing the last error with keys "type", "message", "file" and "line". If the error has been caused by a PHP internal function then the "message" begins with its name. Returns null if there hasn't been an error yet.

As of PHP 8.5.0, for fatal errors with fatal_error_backtraces enabled, the array also contains a "trace" key with the backtrace as an array. Fatal errors caused by uncaught exceptions do not include this key.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.5.0	The returned array now includes a `"trace"` key when a fatal error backtrace is available.

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
)
