Question

I am trying to figure out how I can send errors to my email in Laravel 5. I haven\'t had much luck finding any good resources.

There used to be good packages like: http

I expanded on West55's answer, to include some request info in the email. Useful to know, especially when you want to try and duplicate the error yourself. It's wrapped in a try/catch just to make sure we don't throw another exception while getting request info.

 public function report(Exception $e)
{
    if ($e instanceof Exception){

        $debugSetting = \Config::get('app.debug');
        // email err if debug off (in prod env)
        if (!$debugSetting){
            \Config::set('app.debug', true);
            if (ExceptionHandler::isHttpException($e)) {
                $content = ExceptionHandler::toIlluminateResponse(ExceptionHandler::renderHttpException($e), $e);
            } else {
                $content = ExceptionHandler::toIlluminateResponse(ExceptionHandler::convertExceptionToResponse($e), $e);
            }
            \Config::set('app.debug', $debugSetting);

            $lc2 = (isset($content->original)) ? $content->original : $e->getMessage();

            // add request info to err msg
            $lc1= '';
            try{
                $request= request();
                $lc1=
                    "
" .
                    "-- Request --
" .
                    "
Method: " . $request->getMethod() .
                    "
Uri: " . $request->getUri() .
                    "
Ip: " . $request->getClientIp() .
                    "
Referer: " . $request->server('HTTP_REFERER') .
                    "
Is secure: " . $request->isSecure() .
                    "
Is ajax: " . $request->ajax() .
                    "
User agent: " . $request->server('HTTP_USER_AGENT') .
                    "

" . nl2br(htmlentities($request->getContent())) .
                    "
";
            }catch (Exception $e2){}

            if (strpos($lc2, '') !== false){
                $lc2= str_replace('', $lc1 . '', $lc2);
            }else{
                $lc2.= $lc1;
            }
            $la2['content']= $lc2;      //put into array for blade

            $ln1= Mail::send('emails.exception2', $la2, function($m){
                    $m->to('support@mydomain.com')
                    ->subject('Fatal Error');
            });
        }
    }
    parent::report($e);
}
