How do i turn off php errors?

Overview

It is quite normal for our code to have minor errors. Although such errors do not affect the execution of our code, PHP still displays them. A lot of times, this distorts the design of our websites. In this shot, we'll see how to turn error reporting off in PHP.

Reasons to turn error reporting off

If the code is in production already, it may be unreasonable for end-users to see errors on the website.
Normally, error reporting reveals details about the code, which may make it vulnerable to hackers in the long run.

How to turn off error reporting in our code

To successfully turn off error reporting in PHP, we use the error_reporting[] function.

Example

Turning off error reporing in PHP

Explanation

Line 2: We use error_reporting[0] to turn off all error reporting in our code

Line 3: We trigger an error using trigger_error[“user warning!”, E_USER_WARNING]. However, because we have used error_reporting[0], the error isn't reported.

Line 4: We display our message without an error.

Can I hide errors and warnings that are displayed on my website?

How to hide PHP errors from your website, using hPanel, .htaccess, and configuration files?

Written by Arnas Damasickis

PHP Errors and warnings can be turned off in several ways:

From hPanel
From WordPress configuration file
From .htaccess
From the PHP file of the specific page

Option 1 - If you are using WordPress

If you are using WordPress, in the File Manager open your public_html/wp-config.php file. Check if it has one of these lines:

define['WP_DEBUG', true];
define['WP_DEBUG', false];

If one of them is present, remove the line. Add the following code:

ini_set['display_errors','Off'];
ini_set['error_reporting', E_ALL ];
define['WP_DEBUG', false];
define['WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false];

That's it, now PHP errors will not be displayed on your WordPress website 😊

Opotion 2 - .htaccess and PHP files

In your public_html/.htaccess file [create it, if it's missing in public_html] add this line:

php_flag display_errors off

After this PHP errors will not be displayed on the website.

Option 3 - .php files code

If you want to hide PHP errors from a single session/page of your website, and you know for which PHP page you wish to disable errors display, just add this line to that page's file:

error_reporting[0];

And errors will be hidden 😊
