Description:
------------
$php_errormsg would be much more useful for developers if it were available in global scope.
F.e. its value might be displayed in user-defined assert handler set by assert_options(ASSERT_CALLBACK,..).

Suggestion is to add boolean variable "track_errors_global" to php.ini.
If it's "On" $php_errormsg should be available in global scope (or maybe even be "super-global").

Given that $php_errormsg and track_errors are leftovers from PHP 3, I don't think there's much likelihood of them receiving any changes at this point. (Honestly, I'd rather just see them removed.)

At any rate, you can emulate this easily enough in a PHP script by setting a global variable within a custom error handler. No need for another configuration option or a global variable to clutter up the global namespace.

Closing won't fix.
