This question was posed to me in an international level competition.

My question is based upon Error Handling topic in portion Error Handling and Exception Handling in PHP of PHP

Answer 1

Right option is (d) error_reporting = E_ERROR | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_CORE_ERROR

For explanation: E_ERROR is a fatal run-time error, that can’t be recovered from. E_COMPILE_ERROR is a fatal error that occurs while the script was being compiled. And E_CORE_ERROR is a fatal error that occurs during the PHP’s engine initial startup.
