Bug description: Level set by error_reporting() stays in effect after exit Using PHP as an Apache module, it seems that Apache retains the value set by error_reporting() between requests. This means that whatever error reporting level is set within a script, it's inherited by all subsequent php scripts until changed by another error_reporting() call. It looks like every httpd child retains it's own value: I spent a while checking the current level, and it kept changing among the values set by different scripts on the server. I guess I hit different httpd processes at different times. I definitely assume that every php script is supposed to have the default error_reporting level set in php.ini, if not explicitly defining its' own level!

This sounds very weird, as this mechanism is known to work for quite a while (it's not unique to error_reporting, all of the INI directives use the same mechanism). error_reporting is based on the value in your php.ini, but also on the values in .htaccess and error_reporting(). Can you bring your server to a situation in which a simple, one line script: <? print error_reporting(); ?> would print out different values if you simply reload the page?
