MAMP - Unable to turn off PHP E_STRICT error reporting

Question

For some reason, MAMP won't allow me to turn off E_STRICT warnings. I've tried everything from changing the value explicitly in php.ini to error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT) in my file... to explicitly saying php_ini('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_STRICT). I'm entirely confused as to why this is happening, and from what I can tell its specific to MAMP.

The version of PHP I'm running is 5.2.13 - and before you start telling me I shouldn't be ignoring those warnings, lets just be clear that I am using a framework that requires that E_STRICT be ignored. (lame, I know.)

I am having the same issue. Tried adding in htaccess and event using error_reporting(); in index.php Nothing worked. @Mark37 please post the solution. — kck, Jul 12 '12 at 11:16

Try editing your php.ini (line 270)

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

If that fails, try it by editing the .htaccess file in the root-folder

php_value error_reporting 6143

If even that fails, look for the line 'display_errors = Off' and change it to:

display_errors = Off

Be careful, sometimes there is more then one occurrence.

E_STRICT isn't even listed as an option in php.ini, and setting the value manually just seems to ignore it. – Mark G. Feb 23 '11 at 23:33
Hmmm, Ok... Maybe MAMP changed something to it... Try the edit above. – Bart De Vos Feb 24 '11 at 00:35
Have you confirmed that you are editing the correct php.ini using *phpinfo();* ? – Brian Adkins Jul 12 '12 at 11:23

The *solution* really is editing the right .ini file, and phpinfo() was spot on!, I just edited the right ini and it solved my problem, thanks! – jackJoe Feb 03 '13 at 12:01

Make sure you are editing the correct php.ini by checking with phpinfo();
Make sure you restart apache to apply the new settings

... Only suggesting these since they are not explicitly stated in the question, but you've probably done both.

Although now I see that you tried php_ini function... – Brian Adkins Jul 12 '12 at 12:04

Ok so I've found a solution for this.
I had exactly the same problem and this is how I've fixed it:

1) create a vhost in MAMP (not sure if necessary but this way it works)
2) inside the vhost config, you add this line:

php_admin_value error_reporting 6143

Notice its php_admin_value instead of php_value ? This changes everything!

3) restart MAMP and profit!
