error reporting

Our technician recently changed webserver meaning that all previous settings for the PHP error reporting was reset. Earlier I got parse errors for example when forgetting a semicolon or a closing curly brace. Now I don't.

I also know that it's not good (for security reasons) to have these reports shown so I'm asking you to let me know what the best settings in the php.ini file is.

I want to...

* have all error reporting disabled by default, when the script runs for the public, including mysql errors.

* enable all types of errors (mysql errors and parse errors inluded) except some notices at runtime, while I'm developing the scripts. Yes, I know the different values that can be used with display_errors (2047, 4096 etc) but what should I tell the php.ini ?

So...

Some settings go to the php.ini.
Which?

Some settings go into the ini_set at runtime while I'm developing, temporarily overriding the php.ini

if you access to php.ini i think error_reporting is off in there.

you can also set this in .htaccess of the relevant site to override the php.ini settings

php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting 7

btw if you access to php.ini make sure this is on

display_errors = On
