PHP 4.0 Bug #9904: error_reporting setting in apache conf not respected in pages

From: sklar@tvgrid.com Operating system: Linux host 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:40:35 EDT 1999 i686 unknown PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (20/03/2001) PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: error_reporting setting in apache conf not respected in pages The error_reporting setting I put in my apache conf doesn't work in my pages, but if I call error_reporting() with the same value in the page, it works. I am using build php4-200103160645. I am attempting to follow the instructions at http://www.php.net/manual/cs/x49925.php. PHP is configured suchly: ./configure '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.19+mod_ssl' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-3.23.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686' '--with-xml' '--enable-track-vars' '--without-ldap' '--without-imap' '--without-gd' The relevant section of my httpd.conf: php_value track_vars 1 php_value track_errors 1 php_value display_errors 0 php_value log_errors 1 php_value error_reporting "E_ALL & ~ ( E_NOTICE )" In a page, <?php echo ini_get('error_reporting');?> reports back E_ALL & ~ ( E_NOTICE ) Calling phpinfo() also reports the same Local Value for error_reporting However, If I have a page that looks like this: <?php parse error ?> Nothing appears in the error log. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); parse error ?> Also puts nothing in the error log, I guess because it hits the parse error before the error_reporting() function call gets executed. However, a page like this: <?php imaginary_function(); ?> puts nothing in the error log, while <?php error_reporting(E_ALL & ~ ( E_NOTICE )); imaginary_function(); ?> correctly puts a message in the error log ("PHP Fatal Error: Call to undefined function: imaginary_function() .....") My php.ini only has entries for include_path, max_execution_time, and track_errors, nothing about error_reporting. The same behavior happens if the error_reporting setting in my httpd.conf is just E_ALL. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9904&edit=1
