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

The above error-reporting article describes these two reporting levels:

// Report all PHP errors (see changelog)
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Report all PHP errors
error_reporting(-1);

What is the difference between the two? When would you use one instead of the other?

Please update the article with a clear explanation of the differences and an example of the correct use cases for each level.

The difference is what E_ALL reports on different versions of PHP which is defined in the changelog.

It used to report all errors but strict. Nowadays -1 and E_ALL are the same.
