What does E_ALL and E_STRICT mean in PHP?

I've following lines of code in one of my project's configuration file :

error_reporting((PHPFOX_DEBUG ? E_ALL | E_STRICT : 0));

I'm not able to figure out what this line is doing actually?

I checked in PHP documentation by putting in E_STRICT in search box but it didn't find any matching results.

So can some one please explain me the meaning of above line as well as usage of E_ALL and E_STRICT? What are these entities constants or variables?

Thanks.

Solution

  • E_ALL | E_STRICT will display all possible errors/warnings and suggestions to improve interoperability.

    So this is set when you are debugging mode for the code. Otherwise they are handled silently,
