In view of this very ugly thread I've started using your solution every time I read a data array field. I actually use $arMine["NoField"]??'' with no spaces. It works well. It's a little messy (and it's gonna take forever to fix them all) but you guys win. Thanks Kicken

Thanks. I've got every one of your problems here covered. Your illusions about my code are unfounded and incorrect. This conversation is over. This forum did not help me - again. Thank you for your time.

I fear PHP has lost site of its objective. PHP is famous because it's EASY - less so anymore with every new version. More code is not generally a better solution. This looks like bloatware to me: if(isset($arMine["NoField"])) . That would be hundreds of cases many of which are html input field values. This is a *little* better: $arMine["NoField"] ?? '' Thanks. I may even use this. ginerjm: Thanks for your responses. If I *want* warnings I would have no problem displaying them. If I'm in production and my users encounter a bug I've gotta fix it. So if I need warnings I just turn them on. I need to be ABLE to shut them off and always could. It doesn't work anymore. I don't know why. I've explained what I did. 'ALL php code' - as I stated above, all my files require_once a session file which handles that and a lot of other stuff for every page in the app. If I upgrade PHP it's a BIG move. PHP demolishes my code with every single new version (in the old days upgrades were better not destructive). That to say it happens first on a dev site and once re-debugged can be used in production. Of course debugging may well include the need to see warnings. webdeveloper123: Thanks for your response. I don't want the warnings to EVER show up unless I want them. That because I don't want to have to write code to cover every single case where I use a (maybe non-existent) field value in a data array.

OK, thanks anyway.

I know but it's just a pain in pretty near every interface. I store db fields in the same array as page functionality fields - sometimes. A given field (usually a functionality field) may or may not be in the array. If not, I just want an empty string. The solve is if(isset($arMine["NoField"])) ... For the field that threw the error I needed to debug I did that so it's fixed. In general ... not really. I'd rather lose the warnings. Is there no way to actually stop warnings from displaying?

I'm running PHP 8.1 in Apache2 on a Debian server. I need PHP to display error messages but not warning messages. I've got 2 config files, cli & fpm. I'm not sure which one Apache2 is using. Both have error_reporting set like this: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT Moreover, every time a page loads session code loads with it. At the top of my page: SessionHandler.php is this: error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT); I've also tried changing it to this: error_reporting(E_ALL & ^ E_WARNING & ^ E_NOTICE & ^ E_DEPRECATED & ^ E_STRICT); Still the warning messages display. I've got a habit of trying to display values in associative arrays where the key doesn't exist. PHP throws a warning up for doing this: Warning: Undefined array key "ScpFeatureBundleID" How can I get rid of this warning without stopping errors from displaying?

Thanks. open_basedir is not set. It's remmed out. I saw that on stackoverflow. You were right /var/log Nothing in there. I wonder why it wouldn't access /usr/share.

OK, I moved the fonts to /var/www/fonts/truetype and set ownership & group to www-data. The permissions look right. JpGraph seems to be happy now. Funny though, the JpGraph default path was /usr/share/fonts/truetype which is what sent me down that trail. I just didn't realize that you can't access any folder on the server from a PHP website. It's fixed now. Thanks.

It's my box. It's a standard debian apache 2 installation. All the sites are in /var/www/ Where are the PHP error logs? What does "bundle it into your application's codebase" mean? Multiple sites; multiple PHP apps will need access to the fonts.

Then is it impossible to access folders outside the domain root from the website like /usr/share/ ? I'm accessing multiple folders in /var/www/ for things like PHPWord, JpGraph, etc. They're accessible to all the domains I run. In fact, the app that needs the fonts is JpGraph. <?php echo "Root: {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}<br>"; if(file_exists("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf")) echo "file exists<br>"; else echo "file does NOT exist<br>"; $file = file_get_contents("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf"); if($file === false) echo "no file<br>"; else echo $file . "<br>";

It is not part of the domain. I don't see why that'd matter. Root: /var/www/dev.aecperformance.com file does NOT exist no file

Thanks. I can't believe I didn't see that! It didn't work though. So, now my code is: if(file_exists("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf")) echo "file exists<br>"; else echo "file does NOT exist<br>"; $file = file_get_contents("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf"); if($file === false) echo "no file<br>"; else echo $file . "<br>"; The response is still: file does NOT exist no file Also, when I showed errors none appeared.

I'm trying to access a font file: usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf As you can see the file does exist and owner, group and public have permissions to read it. It is owned by root not www-data but I can't see how that's a problem if public has read permissions. My code: if(file_exists("usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf")) echo "file exists<br>"; else echo "file does NOT exist<br>"; $file = file_get_contents("usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana.ttf"); if($file === false) echo "no file<br>"; else echo $file . "<br>"; returns: file does NOT exist no file How can I make my fonts in usr/share/fonts/truetype/ accessible to PHP?

I can't believe it. What did you google? I tried a few things. The last was this: php charts -javascript -jquery I don't suppose you could come up with an open-source version for commercial use?? Thanks. Also, how can I code my own charts? I'd be interested in that. If you could point me in a direction that would help.

How can I generate charts (bar, line pie, donut) in php that will create files (jpg, png, svg, ...) or base64 on the server? Does a library exist (preferably open source) that can do it? If not is there a service that I can connect to via cURL? I'm trying to export reports from php in various formats (PHPWord, PHPSpreadsheet, PHPPresentation, mPDF, HTML) that will include charts. The html must be basic html (no scripting) and runnable without an internet connection; just a report.
