If you're so keen on providing the user something to see without having to use display_errors=on: Have you had a look at https://php.net/register_shutdown_function ? You can always use that to figure out whether there was a fatal error and then display something nice to the user. No leaked stacktrace, no leaked credentials, user is informed, everyone is happy :-) Cheers Andreas -- ,,, (o o) +---------------------------------------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo-+ | Andreas Heigl | | mailto:andreas@heigl.org N 50°22'59.5" E 08°23'58" | | http://andreas.heigl.org http://hei.gl/wiFKy7 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | http://hei.gl/root-ca | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
