Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49872&edit=1 ID: 49872 Comment by: chealer at gmail dot com Reported by: chealer at gmail dot com Summary: Default for error_reporting() level not documented Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Debian PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This was reported in ticket #50548. The issue was solved since. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-11 04:49:51] chealer at gmail dot com Could someone please fix the status? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-14 17:42:34] chealer at gmail dot com Yet the synopsis reads "Sets which PHP errors are reported". If this only happens in some cases, the synopsis is incorrect. "Get the current error_reporting level, optionally changing it" might fix, but I'm sure there is a better modification to make things crystal-clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-14 09:39:30] rquadling@php.net That's the point. There is no effect. The return value is documented. Supplying the optional value sets the level to the supplied optional value. The parameter of "level" also shows that the value you supply is the new level you want to set. So. Everything covered. error_reporting() will return the current level. error_reporting(xxx) will return the current level and then set it to the supplied level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-14 09:33:45] chealer at gmail dot com Whatever interpretation you like, this is not a bogus issue. The effect of calling error_reporting() is not documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-14 09:28:44] rquadling@php.net The level is optional and does not have a default value, though I suppose you could argue that the default is the current error_reporting level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
