Prior to PHP 8.5.0, this functionality can be provided by the following polyfill:
php
<?php
if (!function_exists('get_error_handler')) {
function noop_error_handler() {
}
function get_error_handler(): ?callable {
$handler = set_error_handler('noop_error_handler');
restore_error_handler();
return $handler;
}
}
?>
