How can I switch off the output of Notices when debugging with PHPStorm

Hi there,

Any example of such output, please?

It looks like the usual php output

Notice: Undefined offset: 4 in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.core.php on line 296

Notice: Undefined index: MYPROJECT in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.session.php on line 370

Notice: Undefined index: SETTINGS in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.session.php on line 399

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.core.php on line 397

Notice: Undefined index: MYPROJECT_MODULE_CODE in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.core.php on line 404

Notice: Undefined index: PORTAL_PATH in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.session.php on line 551

Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\class.portalsettings.php on line 300

Notice: Undefined index: PHPIDS in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\IDS\Caching\Session.php on line 132

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.core.php on line 397

Notice: Undefined index: MYPROJECT_MODULE_CODE in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.core.php on line 404

Notice: Constant CONFIG_ORACLE_CHARSET already defined in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\WPConfig.php on line 47

Notice: Undefined index: LOG_PERFORMANCE_INFO in D:\wwwroot\myproject\Portal\library\lib.database.php on line 368

But it is not present in php.log, as notices are switched off in php.ini.

This log appears just in phpStrom Console.

Can you advise me, how do I switch it off also for phpStorm?

TBH -- I do not know how this could be possible (notices in console despite php.ini settings).

My only thoughts:

• different php.ini is used during this script execution compared to your normal one
• try setting error level programmatically in your code -- maybe you have one already in place (plus this will override one from php.ini)
• Check xdebug settings -- it is possible that it's the one who reports all of this.

In any case -- there is no option to suppress such output.

But you could use Grep Console plugin and configure some rules to make such notice messages much less visible (apply different color to such lines) or even completely remove such lines completely -- it works on PHP output/console as well.

I'm using Zend debugger, but I have not found any other setting property for it to suppress that output

Any other ideas how could I handle it?

I have this same problem, five years later. Note that these notices are properly filtered and handled in the application itself. They only show up when using a debugger in phpStorm (in my case it is xDebug and not Zend, so probably an issue with phpStorm.)

I confirmed that it is using correct php.ini. Actually, even if I call error_reporting(0); to turn off all error reporting, it still shows the notices in the console (even though phpinfo() output shows a zero for reporting level, and display_errors is off and even log_errors is off and display_startup_errors is off and xdebug.force_display_errors is off and xdebug.force_error_reporting is 0)

I found one workaround - to setup a custom error handler to handle notices etc.

Svemir, that's quite a lucky coincidence you mentioned it now and not earlier.
