Description:
------------
Hallo,

on this page [1] I can read:
| So in place of E_ALL consider using a larger value to
| cover all bit fields from now and well into the future,
| a numeric value like 2147483647. 

But 2147483647 (or -1, like you can read at the function
error_reporting()) is enabling all errors, not only those which are part
of E_ALL (6143).

e.g. in 5.x E_STRICT is not part of E_ALL, but will printed with
2147483647 / -1.

Regards,
Carsten

Although it's a little vague, this description is somewhat intentional.

E_ALL changes over time and this includes both additional and integrated

values. However, as you point out here it could be clearer. To most ALL

means ALL so -1 means ALL.

This bug is being changed to better document error_reporting as some of

its information is only listed under the function error_reporting() docs
 
(like the changelog) when really all the function does is change the ini

setting.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.
