Is there a way to get the last error in php4

Question

PHP 5 has error_get_last. Is there any way to completely or at least partially replicate the same functionality in PHP4.3?

Answer 1

Ripped from the PHP manual (courtesy of php at joert dot net):

<?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__;
    }
}
?>
