#48282 [Opn->Asn]: error_reporting documentation

ID: 48282 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: inaccurate note about using integer value for error_reporting in "httpd.conf" Reported By: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows_NT PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: philip New Comment: Although it's a little vague, this description is somewhat intentional. E_ALL changes over time and this includes both additional and integrated values. However, as you point out here it could be clearer. To most ALL means ALL so -1 means ALL. This bug is being changed to better document error_reporting as some of its information is only listed under the function error_reporting() docs (like the changelog) when really all the function does is change the ini setting.

But 2147483647 (or -1, like you can read at the function error_reporting()) is enabling all errors, not only those which are part of E_ALL (6143). e.g. in 5.x E_STRICT is not part of E_ALL, but will printed with 2147483647 / -1.
