ID: 48282 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows_NT PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: philip New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-14 15:50:39] philip@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-14 15:01:20] carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Description: ------------ Hallo, on this page [1] I can read: | So in place of E_ALL consider using a larger value to | cover all bit fields from now and well into the future, | a numeric value like 2147483647. 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.
