The error_reporting function in PHP is used to set the level of error reporting, and its syntax is as follows:

error_reporting($level)

One option is to use the integer $level to specify the error reporting level. Here are some commonly used error reporting levels:

  1. Turn off all error reports.
  2. E_ERROR: Showing a fatal error.
  3. E_WARNING: Display Warning
  4. E_PARSE: Displays a parsing error
  5. E_NOTICE: Display notification.
  6. Show all errors with E_ALL.

For example, to display all errors, the error reporting level can be set to E_ALL.

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Set the error reporting level to 0 to disable all error reports.

error_reporting(0);

Furthermore, you can also use the return value of the error_reporting function to obtain the current error reporting level.

$currentLevel = error_reporting();

It is important to note that the error_reporting function only takes effect at runtime. If you want to set the error reporting level at the beginning of a script, you can configure it in the php.ini file.
