Display traces for fatal errors

Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes

Output looks like on screen http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/737/1191436899.png . I've added one line to css to prevent displaying standard xdebug trace http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/737/5939488074.png

So, community please advice me, how can I trigger `KernelEvents::EXCEPTION` event in `ErrorHandler` or `ExceptionHandler`? Or should I provide other event for this?

@Koc Don't. the exception handler is there to be the safe guard when developing, and does not depend on the kernel (which would be required to trigger the event). If you were triggering the listener again, it would mean that any exception thrown in a listener would lead to a loop.
And if it is for the fatal error handling, you simply cannot be sure the kernel is still available (and even less in a wokring state) at this point.

But how can I notify logger (which will send me mail or just log this situation)?

The error handler is only registered when in debug mode in the Kernel and can be triggered very early in the handling of a request (even before we have access to the dispatcher or anything else). So, the current PR looks fine to me (apart from the typo and the lack of unit tests).

> The error handler is only registered when in debug mode

Ooh! I haven't see that before. But the goal - be notified about errors by email or log-file. Like now exceptions with traces from site emails to me.

I think there are two goals. The first one being to have nice pages in the development environment when a fatal error occurs. And this PR addresses that feature quite nicely. The second can be addressed in another PR.

I have some questions about the ErrorHandler. Is there a reason for it only to be registered in an debug environment (which prod is not). Would assume that if i enable the ErrorHandler in productions aswell Monolog would log thoose instead of them just vanishing?

I am thinking about it too. But as Fabien says it will another PR

You should add a memory reserve to be able to handle "Out of memory" errors.
An example is here :

@Koc can you finish this PR (probably by integrating the memory reserve as explained by @GromNaN)?
