WP_Fatal_Error_Handler WordPress Class
This class provides a handler for fatal errors that cannot be recovered from. It is intended only for developers who are debugging their code.
WP_Fatal_Error_Handler #
Core class used as the default shutdown handler for fatal errors.
Description
A drop-in ‘fatal-error-handler.php’ can be used to override the instance of this class and use a custom implementation for the fatal error handler that WordPress registers. The custom class should extend this class and can override its methods individually as necessary. The file must return the instance of the class that should be registered.
