Question

Is there a constant or env. variable that stores the last error created? The one that is returned via error_get_last?

Answer 1

I don’t mean to be sarcastic (well, yes, but only a little), but you do know the PHP manual has a “See also” section, right? Looking at the page for error_get_last(), I found this little gem: The $php_errormsg variable

Of course, that variable has some limitation (i.e. only works in the scope that the error occurred in, and only if track_errors is on).

But actually, why do you want to use a variable. The point of error_get_last() is to give you the last error, so why not use that?
