PHP ignores custom error handler [duplicate]

How do I catch a PHP Fatal Error

I want to create a custom error handler but PHP ignores it still uses the built in error handler. The example below gives a built in fatal error because test() is not defined:

 function critical_error($error_number,$error_string,$error_file,$error_line,$error_context) { echo "<strong>error:</strong> echo ".$error_string; exit(); } set_error_handler("critical_error",8191); test(); exit;

Any advice?

You are probably defining the error level wrong. Try using:

set_error_handler("critical_error", E_ALL);

Also notice that:

The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function: E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR, E_COMPILE_WARNING, and most of E_STRICT raised in the file where set_error_handler() is called.

But without your complete script (including test()) it's hard to tell. I've tested it on my local server and everything works fine.

Don't think he is, 8191 is everything from E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR and above. php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php
You're right about the notice part. Fatal error: Call to undefined function is E_ERROR and user defined error handler won't be fired.
Thank you for your advice, I think the issue was here that I did not add the E_ALL. test() is not defined, I wanted PHP to give me an fatal error to see if the custom error handler will catch it.
