note 48956 added to function.error-reporting

The following note might save somebody for several hours of debugging: error_reporting() might be tricky when used for scopes. E.g. if you include some third party module, you might wan't to stop error reporting for this module but keep a restrictive policy for your own code. Beware that the following (which seems like a natural solution) will NOT work: <? error_reporting(0); // Turning error_reporting off require_once("thirdparty_module.php"); error_reporting(E_ALL); // Turning it on again ... ... ?> You can suppress error reporting if the inclusion is done in the bottom of the file: <? ... ... error_reporting(0); // Turning error_reporting off require_once("thirdparty_module.php"); ?> but if your script is beeing included into another file, this might not be a proper solution. I have not yet found a way to restrict error reporting for only parts of the code. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48956 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48956&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48956&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
