How do I disable error suppression "@" operator in PHP?

I have a code which was written recklessly (by previous devs ofc) and the error suppression operator "@" was used generously all over the place. And now that I have to debug an error, it is proving a real PITA.

I have tried the regulars like setting error_reporting and display_errors but still error suppression is honoured (maybe it is how its supposed to be).

I have also thought of using a search and replace using regex but I have kept it for last resort.

Now my question is, Is there a way I can override the error suppression operator?

Solution

  • OK, This is a life saver, If you have xdebug installed there is a flag which does exactly that, it suppresses the error suppressor :) Effectively making it easier to debug this hell of a code.
