I have php errors when display_errors is off

Question

I have several php errors that appear on the page as: Notice: Undefined index I have /etc/php/5.6/fpm/php.ini with display_errors = Off

When I set the value to On, I find even more errors on the page.

My htaccess file is empty and vHost conf is :

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName website1.tld
        DocumentRoot /home/website1

        ErrorLog /var/log/sites/ website1_error_log
        CustomLog /var/log/sites/ website1_access_log combined

        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.php4 index.php5

        <Directory /home/website1>
                Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
        <FilesMatch \.php$>
                SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php5.6-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"
        </FilesMatch>
        RewriteEngine on
</VirtualHost>

Thank's

Surely the answer is to fix the errors then rather than suppress them. — Nigel Ren

Then please show the code where the errors occur. Do not hide the errors, solve them! — Jeff

It's a big production website and I can not correct thousands php errors. On the old server, errors are not displayed — mbyou

Have you changed php version? "I can not correct thousands php errors" - how would you know the website is working as intended then? — Jeff

@Jeto - errors such as failing to allocate a resource or failure in connecting to some API are genuine errors which should be logged and investigated - I can understand that. But Notice: Undefined index messages are sloppy coding and potential indicators that the quality of code is generally suspect. — Nigel Ren

You don't have to change anything in this /etc/php/5.6/fpm/php.ini. You can put error_reporting(0) at the top of your application/file.

<?php
// Turn off error reporting
error_reporting(0);

When I add error_reporting(0) to the script, errors are displayed

Please attach the screenshot of the error page and also your code where you placed error_reporting(0)

Turning off error_reporting is a really bad idea in pretty much any situation.
