Display PHP errors while removing all other content
On the development server, a setting was changed here that causes any PHP error (of any level) to output an error message and nothing else. To demonstrate what I mean, here's a script to reproduce the error:
<?php
$array = array('a');
echo "Hello world";
echo $array[1];
echo $array[2];
echo "Goodbye world";
?>
What I expect from this is "Hello world" and then two PHP notifications that say there is an undefined offset in the array and then "Goodbye world". I can actually see this:
PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /path/to/myfile.php on line 4
PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /path/to/myfile.php on line 5
... and nothing else. (Also note that this is in plain text, not HTML). Of course I could install error_reporting(0)
, but then I don't see any errors.
Does anyone know what PHP settings will control this?
I am assuming output buffering is enabled. Try:
<?php
$array = array('a');
echo "Hello world";
ob_flush();
echo $array[1];
echo $array[2];
echo "Goodbye world";
?>
You need to turn off warnings and just get fatal errors. This should do the following:
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
or that:
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
the error reporting method here accepts an integer and the pipe character is bitwise or concatenates their base integer values to achieve the final integer passed to the function.
