What are the potential pitfalls of displaying PHP errors directly on the screen?

Displaying PHP errors directly on the screen can pose a security risk by revealing sensitive information about the server setup and potentially exposing vulnerabilities to malicious users. It is recommended to log errors to a file instead of displaying them on the screen to maintain security and privacy. 

// Set error reporting level
error_reporting(0);

// Log errors to a file
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log', '/path/to/error.log');
