[php] How to disable PHP Error reporting in CodeIgniter?

I've read the official documentation and all they say is that I should have a error_reporting() function located at the top of your main index.php file. But I don't have index.php file in my project. My base controller is called core so to get to main index I go to www.mysite.dom/core/. So I guess this error reporting function should be inside this controller? Then what I would like to know is where should I put it in the controller and what to put inside of it to disable the reporting. Thank you all for help, guess I am missing something :/

This question is related to php codeigniter

The answer is


Change CI index.php file to:

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'local_server_name') {
    define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');
} else {
    define('ENVIRONMENT', 'production');
}

if (defined('ENVIRONMENT')){
    switch (ENVIRONMENT){
        case 'development':
            error_reporting(E_ALL);
        break;

        case 'testing':
        case 'production':
            error_reporting(0);
        break;

        default:
            exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
    }
}

IF PHP errors are off, but any MySQL errors are still going to show, turn these off in the /config/database.php file. Set the db_debug option to false:

$db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE; 

Also, you can use active_group as development and production to match the environment https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/configuration.html

$active_group = 'development';


$db['development']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['development']['username'] = '---';
$db['development']['password'] = '---';
$db['development']['database'] = '---';
$db['development']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
$db['development']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['development']['pconnect'] = TRUE;

$db['development']['db_debug'] = TRUE;

$db['development']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['development']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['development']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['development']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['development']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['development']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['development']['stricton'] = FALSE;



$db['production']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['production']['username'] = '---';
$db['production']['password'] = '---';
$db['production']['database'] = '---';
$db['production']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
$db['production']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['production']['pconnect'] = TRUE;

$db['production']['db_debug'] = FALSE;

$db['production']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['production']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['production']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['production']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['production']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['production']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['production']['stricton'] = FALSE;
