Costanti predefinite

Le costanti qui elencate sono sempre disponibili in quanto parte del core di PHP.

Nota: You may use these constant names in php.ini but not outside of PHP, like in httpd.conf, where you'd use the bitmask values instead.

**Errors and Logging**
Value	Constant	Description
1	`E_ERROR` (int)	Fatal run-time errors. These indicate errors that can not be recovered from, such as a memory allocation problem. Execution of the script is halted.
2	`E_WARNING` (int)	Run-time warnings (non-fatal errors). Execution of the script is not halted.
4	`E_PARSE` (int)	Compile-time parse errors. Parse errors should only be generated by the parser.
8	`E_NOTICE` (int)	Run-time notices. Indicate that the script encountered something that could indicate an error, but could also happen in the normal course of running a script.
16	`E_CORE_ERROR` (int)	Fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like an `E_ERROR`, except it is generated by the core of PHP.
32	`E_CORE_WARNING` (int)	Warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like an `E_WARNING`, except it is generated by the core of PHP.
64	`E_COMPILE_ERROR` (int)	Fatal compile-time errors. This is like an `E_ERROR`, except it is generated by the Zend Scripting Engine.
128	`E_COMPILE_WARNING` (int)	Compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors). This is like an `E_WARNING`, except it is generated by the Zend Scripting Engine.
256	`E_USER_ERROR` (int)	User-generated error message. This is like an `E_ERROR`, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
512	`E_USER_WARNING` (int)	User-generated warning message. This is like an `E_WARNING`, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
1024	`E_USER_NOTICE` (int)	User-generated notice message. This is like an `E_NOTICE`, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
2048	`E_STRICT` (int)	Enable to have PHP suggest changes to your code which will ensure the best interoperability and forward compatibility of your code.
4096	`E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR` (int)	Catchable fatal error. It indicates that a probably dangerous error occurred, but did not leave the Engine in an unstable state. If the error is not caught by a user defined handle (see also set_error_handler()), the application aborts as it was an `E_ERROR`.
8192	`E_DEPRECATED` (int)	Run-time notices. Enable this to receive warnings about code that will not work in future versions.
16384	`E_USER_DEPRECATED` (int)	User-generated warning message. This is like an `E_DEPRECATED`, except it is generated in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error().
32767	`E_ALL` (int)	All errors, warnings, and notices.

The above values (either numerical or symbolic) are used to build up a bitmask that specifies which errors to report. You can use the bitwise operators to combine these values or mask out certain types of errors. Note that only '|', '~', '!', '^' and '&' will be understood within php.ini.

-1 is also semantically meaningless as a bit field, and only works in 2s-complement numeric representations.  On a 1s-complement system -1 would not set E_ERROR.  On a sign-magnitude system -1 would set nothing at all! (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ones%27_complement)

If you want to set all bits, ~0 is the correct way to do it.

But setting undefined bits could result in undefined behaviour and that means *absolutely anything* could happen :-)

[Editor's note: fixed E_COMPILE_* cases that incorrectly returned E_CORE_* strings. Thanks josiebgoode.]



The following code expands on Vlad's code to show all the flags that are set.  if not set, a blank line shows.



<?php

$errLvl = error_reporting();

for ($i = 0; $i < 15;  $i++ ) {

    print FriendlyErrorType($errLvl & pow(2, $i)) . "<br>\\n";

function FriendlyErrorType($type)

{

    switch($type)

            return 'E_PARSE';

        case E_NOTICE: // 8 //

A simple and neat way to get the error level from the error code. You can even customize the error level names further.

<?php
$exceptions = [
        E_ERROR => "E_ERROR",
        E_WARNING => "E_WARNING",
        E_PARSE => "E_PARSE",
        E_NOTICE => "E_NOTICE",
        E_CORE_ERROR => "E_CORE_ERROR",
        E_CORE_WARNING => "E_CORE_WARNING",
        E_COMPILE_ERROR => "E_COMPILE_ERROR",
        E_COMPILE_WARNING => "E_COMPILE_WARNING",
        E_USER_ERROR => "E_USER_ERROR",
        E_USER_WARNING => "E_USER_WARNING",
        E_USER_NOTICE => "E_USER_NOTICE",
        E_STRICT => "E_STRICT",
        E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR => "E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR",
        E_DEPRECATED => "E_DEPRECATED",
        E_USER_DEPRECATED => "E_USER_DEPRECATED",
        E_ALL => "E_ALL"
];

echo $exceptions["1"];
$code = 256;
echo $exceptions[$code];
?>

Output:  
E_ERROR
E_USER_ERROR

This will need updating when PHP updates the error level names. Otherwise, it works just fine.

An other way to get all PHP errors  that are set to be reported. This code will even work, when additional error types are added in future.

<?php
$pot = 0;
foreach (array_reverse(str_split(decbin(error_reporting()))) as $bit) {
    if ($bit == 1) {
        echo array_search(pow(2, $pot), get_defined_constants(true)['Core']). "<br>\n";
    }
    $pot++;
}
?>

PHP 7 makes E_STRICT irrelevant, reclassifying most of the errors as proper warnings, notices or E_DEPRECATED: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/reclassify_e_strict

As for me, the best way to get error name by int value is that. And it's works fine for me ;)
<?php

array_flip(array_slice(get_defined_constants(true)['Core'], 1, 15, true))[$type];

//the same in readable form
array_flip(
    array_slice(
        get_defined_constants(true)['Core'],
        1,
        15,

)[$type]

$errLvl = error_reporting(); 
for ( $i = 1; $i < E_ALL;  $i*=2 )
{ 
    print FriendlyErrorType($errLvl & $i) . "<br>\n"; 
}

function FriendlyErrorType($type) 
{ 
    switch($type) 
    { 
        case E_ERROR: // 1 //

A shorter version of vladvarna's FriendlyErrorType($type)
<?php
function getErrorTypeByValue($type) {
    $constants  = get_defined_constants(true);

    foreach ( $constants['Core'] as $key => $value ) { // Each Core constant
        if ( preg_match('/^E_/', $key  ) ) {    // Check error constants
            if ( $type == $value ) 
                return( "$key=$value");
        }
    }
}   // getErrorTypeByValue() 

echo "[".getErrorTypeByValue( 1 ) . "]". PHP_EOL;
echo "[".getErrorTypeByValue( 0 ) . "]". PHP_EOL;
echo "[".getErrorTypeByValue( 8 ) . "]". PHP_EOL;
?>

Will give
    [E_ERROR=1]
    []
    [E_NOTICE=8]

    function getErrorName($code)
    {
        static $error_names = [
            E_ERROR => 'E_ERROR',
            E_WARNING => 'E_WARNING',

Well, technically -1 will show all errors which includes any new ones included by PHP. My guess is that E_ALL will always include new error constants so I usually prefer:



<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

?>



Reason being: With a quick glance anyone can tell you what errors are reported. -1 might be a bit more cryptic to newer programmers.

I use this code to help mimic the default error handler, the only difference is that the levels end up being all caps, which I don't care to fix. You could also get rid of the underscores, but again, I don't care :P
Until php starts adding constants starting with E_ that have values overlapping with other E_ constants, this seems to be the shortest way of converting error code integers to strings understandable by meat bags. It will also work with new types, so that's nice.
<?php
function friendly_error_type($type) {
    static $levels=null;
    if ($levels===null) {
        $levels=[];
        foreach (get_defined_constants() as $key=>$value) {
            if (strpos($key,'E_')!==0) {continue;}
            $levels[$value]=substr($key,2);
        }
    }
    return (isset($levels[$type]) ? $levels[$type] : "Error #{$type}");
}
echo friendly_error_type(1); #ERROR
echo friendly_error_type(2); #WARNING
echo friendly_error_type(3); #Error #3
?>
Tested on 5.6.12 and 7.0.3 (The first was by accident, didn't realize I was sshed into production :3)

I saw that Chris seems to think that errors might be combined in some cases, I don't know of any cases, but his code is overly verbose, inefficient, and doesn't take into account future E_ constants. Here's my version of handling multiple errors (which probably wont ever happen) using my other code as a base. The only real difference is that this doesn't bother to split out undefined bits, which is pretty much useless and would get rather messy if you have more than a few bits set above 2**14 (0 to 14 have an associated error).

<?php
function friendly_error_type($type) {
    static $levels=null;
    if ($levels===null) {
        $levels=[];
        foreach (get_defined_constants() as $key=>$value) {
            if (strpos($key,'E_')!==0) {continue;}
            $levels[$value]=substr($key,2);
        }
    }
    $out=[];
    foreach ($levels as $int=>$string) {
        if ($int&$type) {$out[]=$string;}
        $type&=~$int;
    }
    if ($type) {$out[]="Error Remainder [{$type}]";}
    return implode(' & ',$out);
}
echo friendly_error_type(E_ERROR|E_USER_DEPRECATED); //ERROR & USER_DEPRECATED
echo friendly_error_type(2**20-1); //ERROR & RECOVERABLE_ERROR & WARNING & PARSE & NOTICE & STRICT & DEPRECATED & CORE_ERROR & CORE_WARNING & COMPILE_ERROR & COMPILE_WARNING & USER_ERROR & USER_WARNING & USER_NOTICE & USER_DEPRECATED & Error Remainder [1015808]

A simplified way of writting a function to return a (non-optimal) representation of the error code as a bitwise string:

<?php
    function readable_error_type($error_code)
    {
        $constants = array();
        foreach(get_defined_constants() as $key => $value)
        {
            if(strpos($key, 'E_') === 0 && ($value <= $error_code) && ($value & $error_code))
            {
                $constants[] = $key;
            }
        }

        return implode(' | ', $constants);
    }
?>

This only works for values above 0.

How about this?  Unlike the examples below, it will show all the bits that are set, AND handle any bits defined in the future (at least not silently hide them)...

    $strErrorType = "";
    $bit = 1;
    $tmpErrNo = $errNo;
    while ($tmpErrNo) {
        if ($tmpErrNo & $bit) {
            if ($strErrorType != "")
                $strErrorType .= " | ";
            switch ($bit) {
            case E_USER_WARNING:
                $strErrorType .= "E_USER_WARNING"; break;
            case E_USER_NOTICE:
                $strErrorType .= "E_USER_NOTICE"; break;
            case E_WARNING:
                $strErrorType .= "E_WARNING"; break;
            case E_CORE_WARNING:
                $strErrorType .= "E_CORE_WARNING"; break;
            case E_COMPILE_WARNING:
                $strErrorType .= "E_COMPILE_WARNING"; break;
            case E_NOTICE:
