Can't disable error reporting in OpenCart (PHP)

Question

I can't seem to disable error reporting in PHP - I have tried everything but "Notice" errors are still displayed.

My php.ini has

display_errors = Off;
error_reporting = 0;

My .htaccess has

php_value error_reporting 0

And my script has

ini_set('display_errors', 'Off');
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_reporting', 0);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 'Off');

php_info();

echo $my_undefined_var;

The php_info() output confirms that display_errors and error_reporting are indeed off and 0, and yet I still get a notice,

Notice: Undefined variable: my_undefined_var in /my/site/path/index.php?blahblah...

Note this is an OpenCart website (and my change is in the Admin section). I have tried creating a test php script in the same directory as index.php and it's fine.

Is there anything else that could be overriding the error_reporting(0) ?

I've done a grep of the entire site to find and disable all mentions of the error_reporting and display_errors but to no avail.

What's the point in setting log_errors to 1? What do you want to log? – Angus

Besides that, the title makes me shiver naturally. – Angus

I don't really want to log anything... I was reading on another forum that to disable error displaying you may have to enable error logging - doesn't make sense to me but I am at the point where I'll try anything. But if I take it out it makes no difference – Vulvitis

Answer 1

There is a setting within the OpenCart dashboard that allows you to turn on (or off) error reporting and logging.

1. Log into your dashboard
2. In the menu, go to "System" and select "Settings"
3. In the list of stores, click "Edit" for your store
4. Click the "Server" tab.
5. Scroll down, and there's two settings:
   a. Log Errors - set this as desired
   b. Display Errors - set this to "No"

As @colmde already pointed OpenCart uses custom error_handler.

You can turn error displaying off without any code edits (especially OpenCart core files) via:

Admin->System->Settings->[edit your configured store]->Server->Display Errors

[EDIT] You can do the same by running following query against OpenCart database:

update setting set `value`= 1 where `key` = 'config_error_display'

For me worked: UPDATE 'TABLENAME'.'oc_setting' SET 'value' = '0' WHERE 'oc_setting'.'setting_id'=1057; – Estrellaestrellita

Perfectly valid, and the reason is that you selected to use oc_ prefix for OpenCart tables during setup, so setting turned into oc_setting. – Wey

Answer 3

OpenCart uses the set_error_handler() function which causes it to override the error_reporting(0).

Removing this fixed my problem.

Answer 4

you can simply use

ini_set('display_errors', 0);

on system/startup.php

I wanted to do the opposite: turn error reporting on (which turned out to be quite hard, but this works!) – Orlosky

Answer 5

True way in OpenCart.

 $this->config->set('config_error_display', 0);
 $this->processAction(); // it throws ugly warning

I've tested in the controller of my module. Just to turn off showing errors before your code. It affects only current session (perhaps even current page). It doesn't affect the DB!

Answer 6

for me helped: //error_reporting(E_ALL);

in file startup.php
