Bug #18498: error_reporting doesn't work, but ini_set('error_reporting') does

From: paul.php@burney.ws Operating system: RedHat 7.1 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: error_reporting doesn't work, but ini_set('error_reporting') does It would appear that the error_reporting function in PHP 4.2.2 doesn't work correctly. (Apache 1.3.26) Here is a sample script. In php.ini, the error level is set to E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); phpinfo(); ?> In the resulting web page, it shows both the local value and the master value of error_reporting as 2039, instead of 2047 for the local value. The following does work correctly: <?php ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); phpinfo(); ?> That shows 2047 for the local value and 2039 for the master value.
