Example

Restore the previous error handler after changing it with the set_error_handler() function:

<?php
// A user-defined error handler function
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {

    echo " Error on line $errline in $errfile<br>";
}

// Set user-defined error handler function
set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");

$test=2;

// Trigger error
if ($test>1) {
    trigger_error("A custom error has been triggered");
}

// Restore previous error handler
restore_error_handler();

// Trigger error again
if ($test>1) {
    trigger_error("A custom error has been triggered");
