note 55035 added to function.error-reporting

Remember that the error_reporting value is an integer, not a string ie "E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE". This is very useful to remember when setting error_reporting levels in httpd.conf: Use the table above or: <? ini_set("error_reporting", E_YOUR_ERROR_LEVEL); echo ini_get("error_reporting"); ?> To get the appropriate integer for your error-level. Then use: php_admin_value error_reporting YOUR_INT in httpd.conf I want to share this rather straightforward tip as it is rather annoying for new php users trying to understand why things are not working when the error-level is set to (int) "E_ALL" = 0... Maybe the PHP-developers should make ie error_reporting("E_ALL"); output a E_NOTICE informative message about the mistake? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55035 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55035&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55035&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
