How to turn off notice reporting in xampp?

Question

On a remote server there is no problem, but in localhost (xampp 3.1.) I cannot turn off reporting notices.

<?php
$Fname = $_POST["Fname"];
...

result:

Notice: Undefined index: Fname in D:\xampp\htdocs\xx\php01\form01.php on line 6

php.ini

; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED
; Development Value: E_ALL
; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
; http://php.net/error-reporting
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE  //shouldn't this line turn off notice reporting ?

Any suggestion ?

Answer 1

Write this code in start of your file.

ini_set('display_errors', 0);
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE); 

Edit1

If you did not want to use above lines then you have to write @ before $_POST to suppress notices, like

$Fname = @$_POST["Fname"];

Edit 2

With this line error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE also change display_errors = Off although its bad programming practices.

Answer 2

If your running XAMPP and want to turn off notices (or other features):
1. Make sure your editing the right INI file (select config from the control panel)
2. Turn display_errors=on
3. Turn error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE (This will only suppress notice errors)
4. Important - Make sure XAMPP is not overriding your settings further down the file (read the notice above the first set of settings)
5. Stop and Start Apache after saving the file
