Bug #80700 [NEW]: @error_reporting($foo) does not change error_reporting

From: jtojnar at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 8.0.1 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:@error_reporting($foo) does not change error_reporting Description: ------------ As per #80548, it is expected that @error_reporting() returns junk but I would still expect it to change the error_reporting value when passed an argument. It does not do that on PHP 8. Not sure why was error_reporting silenced in the codebase in the first place, maybe it could trigger some undocumented errors in the past. Or maybe the author was just being overly cautious. Possibly related #75924 Test script: --------------- <?php // demo: https://3v4l.org/odVHc var_dump(error_reporting(E_ALL)); var_dump(error_reporting()); var_dump(@error_reporting(E_ERROR)); var_dump(error_reporting()); // does not returns E_ERROR on PHP 8.0 Expected result: ---------------- The last line should return E_ERROR as it does on PHP < 8. Actual result: -------------- It returns E_ALL. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80700&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80700&r=mysqlcfg
