error_get_last

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7)

error_get_last — 获取最后发生的错误

说明

array error_get_last ( void )

获取关于最后一个发生的错误的信息。

返回值

返回了一个关联数组，描述了最后错误的信息，以该错误的 "type"、 "message"、"file" 和 "line" 为数组的键。 如果该错误由 PHP 内置函数导致的，"message"会以该函数名开头。 如果还没有错误则返回 NULL。

范例

Example #1 An error_get_last() 范例

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

以上例程的输出类似于：

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

[Editor's note: as of PHP 7.0.0 there is error_clear_last() to clear the most recent error.]

To clear error_get_last(), or put it in a well defined state, you should use the code below. It works even when a custom error handler has been set.

<?php

// var_dump or anything else, as this will never be called because of the 0
set_error_handler('var_dump', 0);
@$undef_var;
restore_error_handler();

// error_get_last() is now in a well known state:
// Undefined variable: undef_var

... // Do something

$e = error_get_last();

...

?>

To know if something happened between two statements one can of course use a special string with user_error() (in lieu of a built-in special reset mentioned by mail at mbaierl dot com): <?php
@user_error($error_get_last_mark='error_get_last mark');
$not_set;
$error_get_last=error_get_last();
$something_happened=($error_get_last['message']!=$error_get_last_mark); ?>

If your <?php set_error_handler(function) ?> function returns true then you'll have to roll you own error_get_last functionality. (Shortly mentioned by dmgx dot michael at gmail dot com).

To manual moderators: Re php.net/manual/add-note.php: Since i guess the above technically sorts under "References to other notes" i feel the need to defend myself with that i'm thinking it might show for usability where other's say it fails and no, i haven't got any other medium to reach the readers of the php manual notes.
Also, you could have some examples of what notes you think is okay. Thanks for your moderation.

To simulate this function in a horrid way for php <5.2, you can use something like this.
<?php
if( !function_exists('error_get_last') ) {
    set_error_handler(
        create_function(
            '$errno,$errstr,$errfile,$errline,$errcontext',
            '
                global $__error_get_last_retval__;
                $__error_get_last_retval__ = array(
                    \'type\'        => $errno,
                    \'message\'        => $errstr,
                    \'file\'        => $errfile,
                    \'line\'        => $errline
                );
                return false;
            '
        )
    );
    function error_get_last() {
        global $__error_get_last_retval__;
        if( !isset($__error_get_last_retval__) ) {
            return null;
        }
        return $__error_get_last_retval__;
    }
}
?>

If an error handler (see set_error_handler ) successfully handles an error then that error will not be reported by this function.

Function error_get_last() will return an error information even if the error is hidden because you've used character @, because of  the "error_reporting" directive in the php.ini file, or because you've used function error_reporting().

Examples:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$y = $x;
$err = error_get_last();
var_export($err);
?>
Will display: array ( 'type' => 8, 'message' => 'Undefined variable: x', 'file' => 'test.php', 'line' => 4, )

<?php
$y = @$x;
$err = error_get_last();
var_export($err);
?>
Will display: array ( 'type' => 8, 'message' => 'Undefined variable: x', 'file' => 'test.php', 'line' => 4, )

If you have the need to check whether an error was a fatal error  before PHP 5.2 (in my case, within an output buffer handler), you can use the following hack:

<?php
# Check if there was a PHP fatal error.
# Using error_get_last is the "right" way, but it requires PHP 5.2+. The back-up is a hack.
if (function_exists('error_get_last')) {
    $lastPHPError = error_get_last();
    $phpFatalError = isset($lastPHPError) && $lastPHPError['type'] === E_ERROR;
} else {
    $phpFatalError = strstr($output, '<b>Fatal error</b>:') && ! strstr($output, '</html>');
}
?>

This is, of course, language-dependent, so it wouldn't be good in widely-distributed code, but it may help in certain cases (or at least be the base of something that would work).

Beware that registing a shutdown function to catch errors won't work if other shutdown functions throw errors.

<?php

register_shutdown_function('cleanupObjects');
register_shutdown_function('handleFatalPhpError');

function cleanupObjects() {
   trigger_error('An insignificant problem', E_USER_WARNING);
}

function handleFatalPhpError() {
   $last_error = error_get_last();
   if($last_error['type'] === E_ERROR || $last_error['type'] === E_USER_ERROR) {
      echo "Can do custom output and/or logging for fatal error here...";
   }
}

trigger_error('Something serious', E_USER_ERROR);

?>

In the above code, $last_error will contain the warning, becuase cleanupObjects() is called first.

The error_get_last() function will give you the most recent error even when that error is a Fatal error.

Example Usage:

<?php

register_shutdown_function('handleFatalPhpError');

function handleFatalPhpError() {
   $last_error = error_get_last();
   if($last_error['type'] === E_ERROR) {
      echo "Can do custom output and/or logging for fatal error here...";
   }
}

?>

While mail at mbaierl dot com makes the point that this function isn't best for reporting the possible error condition of the most recently executed step, there are situations in which it is especially helpful to know the last error—regardless of when it occurred.

As an example, imagine if you had some code that captured the output from dynamic pages, and cached it for faster delivery to subsequent visitors. A final sanity check would be to see if an error has occurred anywhere during the execution of the script. If there has been an error, we probably don't want to cache that page.

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"
?>
Brad 16-Jun-2008 08:36
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.
