Setting display_error PHP configuration in .htaccess

Question

I'm trying to disable display_errors from .htaccess , but if I just paste this into the .htaccess file, the entire site crashes:

php_flag display_errors off
php_flag log_errors on

Answer 1

This only works if php is compiled as apache module and you have privileges to change those.

If you are using php >= 5.3, there is better solution: create .user.ini file in your document root and use normal ini syntax to customize your config.
