Because having E_NONE is consistent. Then any possible value you might want to pass to error_reporting() has a symbolic constant. Sure, "0" conceptually means "none", but there's no reason that the value 0 MUST mean "no errors". It just happens to be true in this case. I'll agree that this may not be a compelling reason to include E_NONE, but, I can't think of any compelling reason why _NOT_ to include it, especially considering that this is a two line patch that is not invasive at all. Also, the documentation references E_NONE, so at least one other person feels it to be a reasonable constant, so much that they didn't check to make sure that the constant actually existed: http://us3.php.net/security.errors Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-26 09:13:57] jevon at jevon dot org This makes no sense. Why have E_NONE when using '0' is simpler? I don't see how it would be helpful at all, especially since 0 is not a combination of any other numbers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-28 10:43:36] dshadow at zort dot net While investigating bug 16004, I noticed there is no E_NONE error constant.
