How can error reporting be optimized for PHP scripts?
Error reporting in PHP scripts can be optimized by setting the error_reporting level to E_ALL to catch all errors and warnings, and by displaying errors only in development environments. Additionally, logging errors to a file can help track and debug issues without exposing sensitive information to users.
// Set error reporting level to catch all errors and warnings
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Display errors only in development environment
if (ENVIRONMENT === 'development') {
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
} else {
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
}
// Log errors to a file
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log', '/path/to/error.log');
