On a live server, you don't want the end user to see any errors they don't have to, and you want to catch the drastic ones to give a more friendly message. On a development server, you want all errors (no matter how small) to show up, so you can code using best practices. A developer shouldn't have to consider the error level when building an app, because it should be built to have no notices and to properly handle any other problems. I like that you can specify your own error handler in PHP, that way you can throw exceptions if you want or log/email error information, etc. Error reporting should always be configurable.

If error reporting will be configurable - then every developer will need to make some checks and more lines of code if he wants to make his app more portable. There should be only build-in 'on' or 'off' templates error reporting - but not configurable! > change the error reporting level in PHP and even log the notices
