Syntax of error_reporting in PHP
int error_reporting([int level])
Sets the level of errors reported by PHP to level and returns the current level; if level is omitted, the current level of error reporting is returned. The following values are available for the function:
E_ERROR Fatal runtime errors (script execution halts)
E_WARNING Runtime warnings
E_PARSE Compile-time parse errors
E_NOTICE Runtime notices
E_CORE_ERROR Errors generated internally by PHP
E_CORE_WARNING Warnings generated internally by PHP
E_COMPILE_ERROR Errors generated internally by the Zend scripting engine
E_COMPILE_WARNING Warnings generated internally by the Zend scripting engine
E_USER_ERROR Runtime errors generated by a call to trigger_error()
E_USER_WARNING Runtime warnings generated by a call to trigger_error()
E_STRICT Direct PHP to suggest code changes to assist with forward compatibility
E_RECOVERA
BLE_ERROR
If a potentially fatal error has occurred, was caught, and properly handled, the code can continue
execution
E_DEPRECATED If enabled, warnings will be issued about deprecated code that will eventually not work properly
E_USER_DEPRECATED If enabled, any warning message triggered by deprecated code can be user-generated with the trigger_error() function
E_ALL All of the above options
Any number of these options can be ORed (bitwise OR, |) together, so that errors in each of the levels are reported. For example, the following code turns off user errors and warnings, performs some actions, then restores the original level:
<$level = error_reporting();
error_reporting($level & ~(E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING));
// do some stuff
error_reporting($level);>
