Bug description: error_reporting() SOMETIMES does not have any affect
Description:
------------
Periodically PHP stops respecting calls to error_reporting() to alter
the current error level away from the system default specified in
php.ini. All calls to error_reporting() for the current connection
will not update the actual level. This behavior will occur with only
*some* of the connections, but not all of them. Reloading the page
(after waiting for the keep alive to time out) will sometimes result
in the expected behavior, and others will result in the erroneous
behavior. Restarting Apache (running 2.2.6 with mod_php) seems to
briefly fix the problem, but it eventually returns.
This behavior also occurs when trying to set the error reporting level
via .htaccess such as:
php_value "E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE"
when this occurs, a phpinfo() call shows that the error reporting
level has defaulted back to the system-wide default (specified in
php.ini) and ignores the php_value statement all together. Again,
this is behavior that only happens *sometimes* and alters between page
reloads.
As a side effect, this causes all supporting libraries that rely on
error suppression, like Smarty, to throw errors.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(error_reporting());
var_dump(error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_USER_NOTICE));
trigger_error('This should not be seen', E_USER_NOTICE);
echo $a; // should cause a notice
var_dump(error_reporting());
?>
Expected result:
----------------
int(6143)
int(6143)
int(5111)
Actual result:
--------------
int(6143)
int(6143)
