From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.error-reporting

The ini_get('error_reporting') was historically the only way to get same results as current implementation of error_reporting(). However, the behavior
of ini_get('error_reporting') was changed between PHP 5.6 and 7.0 but this has not been documented anywhere.

See https://3v4l.org/3lFoe for demo.

Note that this also affect all custom error handlers that inspect value of ini_get('error_reporting') and not just @ini_get() syntax.

I assume that PHP 7.x ignores at-sign by design (the function name suggests that this is the value set in the ini file) but this change is missing official documentation.

I'd prefer this to be documented in both http://www.php.net/function.error-reporting and http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php

Test script:
---------------
<?php
# different results for PHP 5.x and 7.x:
ini_set('error_reporting', 1);
$a = array();
$a['ini_get'] = ini_get('error_reporting');
$a['error_reporting'] = error_reporting();
$a['@ini_get'] = @ini_get('error_reporting');
$a['@error_reporting'] = @error_reporting();
var_export($a);

Expected result:
----------------
The output should be stable for all versions.

Actual result:
--------------
Behavior is stable for 5.x and all versions of hhvm. However, PHP 7.x will ignore the at-sign (@) in front of ini_get(). I believe that PHP 4.x used to work identical to 5.x here but I do not have any environment to test that.
