NOTE: Keep a record of any changes you make to your configuration. If you turn off php warnings and don’t remember doing it, you might run into a snag later.

If you’re pressed for time and want to stifle all warnings, add this to the top of any file that is included from your main PHP script.

<br /> <?php include error_reporting(0); ?><br />

Now, this won’t just stop the warnings from being printed on the site, but it will also kill all errors being written to your website’s error_log.

If you want to just suppress warnings on your site, and you have access to your .htaccess file, then make a simple edit.


php_value display_errors 0


In order to add error checking back to your website:


php_value display_errors 1
php_value error_reporting 2047


It’s totally up to you how you want to handle error checking, but if you have a script that you don’t plan on changing that is creating error log files of huge sizes, then patching the code as illustrated in example one should do the trick.
