some error reporting questions

I have a VPS running both my live site and a totally separate password protected version of the site as a production one. Both have exclusive databases and domains.

I was wondering if setting error reporting in php.ini is global (so it affects both sites)?

I'd like to set it up so that select errors are logged to a file above root in the live site, but all warnings and errors are displayed on the production site.

Is this possible, or is error reporting global?

If it is possible, can I have one error reporting config setting somewhere for each site, or do I have to have code on every php page instructing what I want?

Cheers guys

It is global. You can enable the error reporting on the selected site by using the "ini_set" command through.

set display_errors to off in your pho.ini, then if you want to see the errors of each site juste add it on each page:

Ahh - thanks guys. I like the idea of turning it off globally and then on per page when I need it.

Just wanted to confirm that the error_reporting() functions only turn it on for the site the script is on, and not globally for the server (I'm assuming ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); would set it globally)?
