Display Errors is both On and Off

I have a website in which PHP errors are displayed, despite having them
configured to not display.

Here is a test file I created to explore this:

echo ini_get( 'display_errors' );
phpInfo();
?>

The ini_get says "On", the phpInfo says "Off" (for display_errors in the PHP
Core section).

PHP 5.0.4

I'm struggling to understand how, at runtime, I get these conflicting
reports. The configuration files all say display_errors is OFF, and phpInfo
agrees, but PHP acts like they are on, and ini_get shows why.

In which column does the phpinfo() show the display_errors setting as
"Off"? "Local Value", "Master Value" or both?

Both "local" and "master" say Off.

Have you used something like this in an .htaccess file?

php_value display_errors off

?? Boolean flags like display_errors should be set using "php_flag" instead
of "php_value".

First of all, are you editing the correct php.ini file? (Probably, but
it's always worth checking).

Next - do you have the php.ini file overridden in your .htaccess or
httpd.conf file?
