Is it recommended to configure error reporting settings directly in PHP files or through the web server configuration in PHP applications?
It is generally recommended to configure error reporting settings in the php.ini file or through the web server configuration for PHP applications, rather than directly in PHP files. This centralizes the error reporting settings and ensures consistency across the application. Additionally, modifying settings in the php.ini file or web server configuration allows for easier management and scalability of error reporting.
// Example of setting error reporting in the php.ini file
// Locate the php.ini file and find the error_reporting directive
// Set the desired error reporting level, for example:
// error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
// Example of setting error reporting in the web server configuration
// Locate the web server configuration file (e.g., httpd.conf for Apache)
// Add or modify the PHP configuration settings, for example:
// php_admin_value error_reporting E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
