What is best practice when setting error reporting on development and production applications? At the moment I have the following:
// development
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// production
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
Quoting the php-production.ini that should have come bundled with your PHP:
; PHP comes packaged with two INI files. One that is recommended to be used ; in production environments and one that is recommended to be used in ; development environments. ; php.ini-production contains settings which hold security, performance and ; best practices at its core. But please be aware, these settings may break ; compatibility with older or less security conscience applications. We ; recommending using the production ini in production and testing environments.

; display_errors ; Default Value: On ; Development Value: On ; Production Value: Off ; display_startup_errors ; Default Value: Off ; Development Value: On ; Production Value: Off ; error_reporting ; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED ; Development Value: E_ALL ; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT ; html_errors ; Default Value: On ; Development Value: On ; Production value: On ; log_errors ; Default Value: Off ; Development Value: On ; Production Value: On
Since you asked for best practise, I suggest you go with that.
