How I can catch PHP response error with Axios

I want to catch PHP response errors with Axios.

I have a simple PHP code like this to try to send error to my js file:

header('Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
$test = array (
    'error' => 'test error!'
);  
echo json_encode($test);
die();

And my js with axios like this:

axios({
      method: 'post',
      responseType: 'json',
      url: 'test.php'
      data: '1234'
    })
    .then((response) => {
      if ( response.data.error ) {
        console.log(response.data.error) // I show error here            
      }
      else {            
        console.log(response.data);            
      }
    })
    .catch((error) => {          
      console.log (error); // it's possible to show error here?
    }
)

I can't show error inside catch I think because I made echo json_encode and Axios can not differenciate between error and normal response.

Is there some way to catch errors inside catch?

If you want to get the error in your catch block, your PHP script must return a HTTP status code other than 2xx Success with error response.

So in your PHP script you should add a HTTP status code. Example: How to send HTTP response code

Because axios only treat a response as an error and pass it to the catch block, when it gets a HTTP status code that not in 2xx Success List

Example from axios:

axios.get('/user/12345')
  .catch(function (error) {
    if (error.response) {
      // The request was made and the server responded with a status code
      // that falls out of the range of 2xx
      console.log(error.response.data);
      console.log(error.response.status);
      console.log(error.response.headers);
    } else if (error.request) {
      // The request was made but no response was received
      // `error.request` is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance of
      // http.ClientRequest in node.js
      console.log(error.request);
    } else {
      // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error
      console.log('Error', error.message);
    }
    console.log(error.config);
});
