You should have the [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.log-errors]log_errors[/url] turned on and the [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-log]error_log[/url] setting pointing to the desired log file so that you can review it for errors. [b]error_reporting[/b] should then still be set at a high enough level to see all errors [i]in that log file[/i] that you might be interested in (I'd normally suggest leaving it at [b]E_ALL[/b], or [b]E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE[/b] if you have sloppy code that generates lots of notices, but hopefully you don't ? ).
In any case, you should not depend on the built-in error reporting in any way for your application: such errors indicate a fault in the code, not a user error. You should be writing defensive code that prevents such errors from happening.
Bad:
Better:
What will show error report?
What will show
error report like:
[code=php]
ini_set(‘error_reporting’, E_ALL)

Bad:

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

[code=php]

error_log(mysql_error()."n$sql");

// etc...
}
