The Symfony ErrorHandler component provides tools to manage errors and ease debugging PHP code, converting PHP errors and notices into exceptions and rendering debug error pages. It is a standalone Composer-installable library used by many major PHP projects.

Use cases

• turn PHP errors and warnings into catchable exceptions
• show detailed debug error pages during development
• wrap code so any failure throws an exception even with the @ silence operator
• render custom generic error pages in production
• improve class error messages with DebugClassLoader

When to choose

• you want robust, battle-tested error handling in any PHP project
• you need nice exception pages while debugging
• you want errors converted to exceptions consistently across legacy code

When to avoid

• you need application performance monitoring or APM rather than error handling
• your framework already provides its own error handling layer you prefer
