PHP error_reporting() Function

The error_reporting() function determines what errors are reported from the current script.

Here is the syntax for this function:

Syntax

[code lang=”php”]
error_reporting(report_level);
[/code]

The report_level parameter is optional and specifies what report level to report for the current script. This can be set by its numeric value or its constant name, however for future versions of PHP it is recommended you use the constant name rather than the numeric value.

Report Levels

Value Constant Description
1 E_ERROR Fatal run-time errors. Errors that can not be recovered
from. Execution of the script is halted
2 E_WARNING Non-fatal run-time errors. Execution of the script is not
halted
4 E_PARSE Compile-time parse errors. Parse errors should only be
generated by the parser
8 E_NOTICE Run-time notices. The script found something that might be
an error, but could also happen when running a script normally
16 E_CORE_ERROR Fatal errors at PHP startup. This is like an E_ERROR in the
PHP core
32 E_CORE_WARNING Non-fatal errors at PHP startup. This is like an E_WARNING
in the PHP core
64 E_COMPILE_ERROR Fatal compile-time errors. This is like an E_ERROR
generated by the Zend Scripting Engine

2048 E_STRICT Run-time notices. PHP suggest changes to your code to help
interoperability and compatibility of the code
4096 E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR Catchable fatal error. This is like an E_ERROR but can be
caught by a user defined handle (see also set_error_handler())
8191 E_ALL All errors and warnings, except level E_STRICT (E_STRICT
