Q:

Error 500 Page - How do I get the last exception?

If an exception has been thrown, Symfony 1.4 shows by default the "Oops! An Error Occurred" page. I defined an own page (http://symfony-check.org/permalink/customize-the-oops-an-error-occurred-page) and want to inform me by mail if this happens.
So is there any chance to get the thrown exception? Something like error_get_last() ?

A:

Thanks for the suggestion @waldek_c!
Finally I solved the problem with a filter and catch the Exception before the forward to the errorpage.
Like this: http://blog.felixdv.com/2008/01/28/exception-catcher-filter-for-symfony/ 
This is my Filter:
class errorHandlingFilter extends sfFilter
{
public function execute($filterChain)
{
    try
    {
        $filterChain->execute();
    }
    catch(Exception $e)
    {
        if($e instanceof sfStopException || $e instanceof sfError404Exception) // common symfony exceptions that are allowed
        {
            throw $e;
        }
        else
        {
            // do errorhandling here
            throw $e;
        }
    }
}
}
