I'm not a C++ or C programmer, however I have made an extension that 
exposes a complimentary function to error_get_last, error_clear_last.

It's a super useful function, specially if you're trying to detect 
things like "white pages"

It's a much needed function for people that write their own error reporters.

Considering the last error doesn't clear until the error reporter 
returns true, so there could be cases where someone's custom error 
reporter could be reporting the same error stored in $php_errormsg many 
times.

regardless of your usage, users should have the ability to clear the 
'last error' at their will.

ANYWAY where would I post something like this? I don't want to put up my 
code because a.)I can't find it anymore and b.)it'd probably be 
embarrassing to show my crap C!

How does this differ from $php_errormsg?

How does this differ from using the $errstr in a function established via 
 `set_error_handler()`?

?

Here.  Or if you have a PHP CVS account, wiki.php.net.
