Remove warning messages in PHP

I have some PHP code. When I run it, a warning message appears.

How can I remove/suppress/ignore these warning messages?

You really should fix whatever's causing the warning, but you can control visibility of errors with error_reporting(). To skip warning messages, you could use something like:

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);

You can put an @ in front of your function call to suppress all error messages.

@yourFunctionHere();

To suppress warnings while leaving all other error reporting enabled:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_WARNING); 

If you want to suppress the warnings and some other error types (for example, notices) while displaying all other errors, you can do:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE);

You could suppress the warning using error_reporting but the much better way is to fix your script in the first place.

There is already answer with Error Control Operator but it lacks of explanation. You can use @ operator with every expression and it hides errors (except of Fatal Errors).

@$test['test']; //PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: test

@(14/0); // PHP Warning:  Division by zero

//This is not working. You can't hide Fatal Errors this way.
@customFuntion(); // PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function customFuntion()

For debugging it's fast and perfect method. But you should never ever use it on production nor permanent include in your local version. It will give you a lot of unnecessary irritation.

You should consider instead:

1. Error reporting settings as mentioned in accepted answer.

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);

or from PHP INI settings

ini_set('display_errors','Off');

2. Catching exceptions

try {
    $var->method();
} catch (Error $e) {
    // Handle error
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
