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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80700&edit=1
