# PHP Fatal Error Backtraces in PHP 8.5

**[Laravel News](https://daily.dev/sources/ln)** · 2 min read · 23 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

PHP 8.5 introduces a new fatal_error_backtraces setting that displays stack traces for fatal errors like parse errors, duplicate class declarations, and infinite loops. This feature is enabled by default and provides detailed debugging information showing the execution path that led to the fatal error, making it easier to identify and fix issues in production applications.
