Bug #50071 [Com]: Not honored: display_errors = stderr

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50071&edit=1 ID: 50071 Comment by: dernelson at corelogic dot com Reported by: rank1seeker at gmail dot com Summary: Not honored: display_errors = stderr Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *Configuration Issues Operating System: FreeBSD 7.2 PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-11-03 (snap) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I can confirm that this is still an issue. I have the following setting: display_errors = stderr According to the php.ini documentation for this setting: ; Off = Do not display any errors ; stderr = Display errors to STDERR (affects only CGI/CLI binaries!) ; On or stdout = Display errors to STDOUT However, warnings are being dumped to the browser. I have also checked that the setting is correct in the .ini file reported in use by phpinfo(), and that no scripts are overriding this with ini_set().

However, the suggestion to set error_reporting to 2147483647 (when setting it inside httpd.conf) causes display_errors to fail (to display all errors regardless of its actual setting). http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting Wish it wasn't so, but alas, it is :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-30 18:32:33] tedmasterweb at gmail dot com I second the motion that display_errors=Off means off, completely off under all circumstances and regardless of reporting level. FWIW, I have the following in httpd.conf and I'm still seeing errors on the screen (PHP 5.3.1): php_value display_errors Off php_flag log_errors 1 php_value error_log /tmp/php_errors.log php_value error_reporting 2147483647 The value for error_reporting comes from the online documentation. The bottom line is I want to see ALL errors logged to a file, but none NONE on the screen. Maybe I've misunderstood something but it seems that I have my settings correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-10 18:06:39] ahollosi at xmp dot net This bug is NOT bogus. I can confirm it for PHP 5.3.2 on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (I'm using the precompiled binaries from windows.php.net) display_errors=stderr is ignored, output goes to STDOUT, if log_errors=On and error_log is set to a file. And yes: I checked that the correct php.ini file is loaded. (On a side note: I don't think that bug #28349 is bogus either. If I set display_errors=Off I excpect it to mean "Off" and not "Well, mostly off, unless you set some other configuration options to wrong values.") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-04 13:50:12] rank1seeker at gmail dot com Of course it is loaded: I already use phpinfo() script Loaded Configuration File /usr/local/etc/php.ini I even tried: display_errors = stderr display_errors = Stderr display_errors = "stderr" display_errors = "Stderr" All behaves as: display_errors = On ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-04 09:54:22] jani@php.net It works fine when your ini file is actually loaded. Check phpinfo() for "Loaded Configuration file" line.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
