$php_errormsg

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

$php_errormsg — The previous error message

Warning

This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.0, and REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

Use error_get_last() instead.

Description

$php_errormsg is a variable containing the text of the last error message generated by PHP. This variable will only be available within the scope in which the error occurred, and only if the track_errors configuration option is turned on (it defaults to off).

Warning

If a user defined error handler (set_error_handler()) is set $php_errormsg is only set if the error handler returns false.

Changelog

Version Description
8.0.0 Directive track_errors which caused $php_errormsg to be available has been removed.
7.2.0 Directive track_errors which caused $php_errormsg to be available has been deprecated.

Examples

Example #1 $php_errormsg example

<?php
@strpos();
echo $php_errormsg;
