DeGraciaMathieu/Nero
====================

[](#degraciamathieunero)

This package allows you to simulate a fatal error in your PHP application

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run in console below command to download package to your project:

```
composer require degraciamathieu/nero

```

How use
-------

[](#how-use)

There are two possibilities : `Breaker::syntaxError()` and `Breaker::classNotFound()`.

You can pass to these methods several criteria: a file, a specific line and a parameter.

```
require 'vendor\autoload.php';

use \DeGraciaMathieu\Nero\Breaker;

Breaker::syntaxError($file = null, $line = null, $parameter = null);
```

By default the method will automatically complete all these criteria.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
require 'vendor\autoload.php';

use \DeGraciaMathieu\Nero\Breaker;

Breaker::syntaxError();
```
