Get the last occurred error

Description

error_get_last(): array|null

Gets information about the last error that occurred.

Parameters 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

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

Examples

An error_get_last() example

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

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