php.ini hide notices and warnings

In my php.ini I am trying to show errors only but not warnings. Her is some settings I have below.

display_errors = On

and

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING

But notices and warnings still show up

Those constants may or may not work. Check this link.

What you might want to do is log errors, warnings and notices, but not show any of them to clients. Maybe something like this:

error_reporting = 32767
display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
log_errors_max_len = 1024
error_log = error_log

If you want a script that can find the error logs, just post back and I'll put it here.

So this will disable show warnings

The php.ini settings I posted will disable browser display of all PHP messages related to Notice, Warning, and Error. You will still be able to find the information in the error_log file, but it will not "tip your hand" to potential hackers by exposing the PHP issues.

You can also use the @ prepended to the name of a function to suppress the messages from a specific function call, but I do not recommend that - it can cause silent failures and is considered an antipractice.

If you really want to turn off Notice and Warning, but leave Error available for display, you can set this:

error_reporting = 32757
display_errors = On
