PHP display-errors setting.

[thecanadiansandbox18]

Hello, I would like to disable php errors from being displayed in a browser when an error is encountered.

I consulted the PHP help and found this:
[url]http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors[url]

I noticed in particular this statement from the above link:

This is a feature to support your development and should never be used on production systems (e.g. systems connected to the internet).

I wish to disable php from displaying errors to the end user. How do I do this? I noticed on the php.net article that it can be done by adding this line to the php.ini file:

ini_set(\'display_errors\', 0);

Where can I find this php.ini file?

You need to manually set it in your script to display errors...

Displaying errors is off by default, except for Fatal errors, I believe.

You could try using ini_set('display_errors', 0); in your PHP script, though I'm pretty sure errors are already off..

Where should I put that? I have a common.php file in my phpbb3 forum. Should I put that near the top?

If it is included in all your files, just add the line at the top. You can also use your choice of:

error_reporting(0); // turns off all error reporting, blank page if it crashes

error_reporting(E_ERROR); // just fatal errors

error_reporting(-1); // displays all errors, warning, etc.

Thank you, I think that helped.
