Description:
------------
The @ is supposed to set error level to 0 (at least, I think that is what it supposed to do), but that does not work with a custom error handler. I can reproduce this every time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Set error handler:

set_error_handler('ErrorHandler');

Code to generate error:

$this->_bind = @ldap_bind($this->_conn, $this->_ad_username.$this->_account_suffix, $this->_ad_password);

Error Handler Test:

function ErrorHandler($iErrorNum, $sErrorMsg, $sErrorFile, $iErrorLineNum){

 echo $iErrorNum;

}

Expected result:
----------------
No error message and an $iErroNum of 0.

Actual result:
--------------
error message:

WARNING [2] ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server, Line: 140 in file C:\inetpub\Intranet_Local\library\classes\adLDAP.php

$iErrorNum = 1024

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

@ temporarily sets error_reporting to 0, it doesn't prevent your handler 
to be called. You've to do the filtering in it based on error_reporting 
if you want to.

But it's NOT setting the error reporting to 0. It is a bug, see this reply to a bug done in 2002.

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16570&edit=2

When I use the @, it is supposed to pass an error level of 0, but it does not do this. It still sets it to 1024 and does NOT set my reporting level to 0.

The manual states

"Of particular note is that this value will be 0 if the statement that caused the error was prepended by the @ error-control operator. "

This is NOT happening.

On my setup using PHP 5.3.1, this code:

<?php
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
    var_dump(error_reporting());
}

set_error_handler('myErrorHandler', E_ALL);

var_dump(error_reporting());
@include 'does-not-exist.php';
var_dump(error_reporting());
?>

Produces the following output:
int(32767)
int(0)
int(0)
int(32767)

It is your own responsibility to check the error handling level inside your custom error handler.

That makes no sense. How am I to determine in my error handler that the error control operator is being used?
 [2010-01-12 18:19 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
Just check it:

if(error_reporting()==0) ...

I'm confused about your confusion here.
 [2010-01-12 18:27 UTC] keithdavis at solidtechservice dot com 
Ok, I get it now, but I feel like the manual is very unclear on this subject. I posted this problem in Experts Exchange and we couldn't figure it out there either. 

It reads to me that the "ERROR LEVEL" or error number is being set to 0, not the "ERROR REPORTING LEVEL".

Thanks for your help.
