HELP!! Changing the verbosity level

[INETIO]

Can someone please help me, I need to change the verbosity and dont know where to start in the php ini file. I have a client using phattchat and it will not run. I am using php 4.2.3 and he gets undefined variables errors. I found this article below, but I do not know where to start to change this in the ini file.

The notices about undefined variables are there because you have a rather new version of PHP, which has a high verbosity level by default, which in your case is probably set to ''notice'' instead of ''error''. If you modify your php.ini and set the notify level to ''errors only'' (or something like that) this problem is gone. PHP
can handle undefined variables very well, and I don''t get why the latest versions they released have set the notification standard to such a verbose level.-"

Look for the section.

" Error handling and logging "

in the php.ini file and modify the error_reporting configuration variable to.

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

They also have other examples of how verbose the error reporting is, however the above setting will display all errors and warning, except notices (undef vars, etc).
