How does error_reporting affect the behavior of the include() function in PHP, and what are the implications for debugging?

When error_reporting is set to a level that includes E_WARNING or higher, the include() function will trigger a warning if the file being included cannot be found or accessed. This can help identify issues with file paths or permissions during development. To ensure that warnings are displayed when using include(), set error_reporting to E_ALL in your PHP script. 

// Set error reporting to display all warnings
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Use include() function
include('myfile.php');
