Question

I am trying to dynamically set error reporting in PHP but I can’t get the syntax right.

I tried :

ini_set('error_reporting',0);

and than this:

error_reporting(0);

But both are unable to stop the error reporting. Kindly tell me what mistake I am doing? Thank you.

(I am new to PHP and using this resource to learn PHP.)

EDIT: The Entire code is :

<?php

    ini_set('error_reporting',0);
    echo "hello world"
    $value = "abc";
    ?>
    <input type = "text" value = "<?php echo $value;?>">

I intentionally made a mistake in second line to study the error.

You have “PHP Parse error” and it means PHP cannot compile your code, thus your error reporting setting will not work.

Try this:

error_reporting(0);
echo $foo; // This line produces notice about unset variable, but it is suppressed by error reporting level 0
