[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(); ... ?> --was-- To clear error_get_last(), or put it in a well defined state, you should use the code below.
