The proper method of handling errors is to actually handle the errors. For example, if you are thinking of using an error suppression operator to suppress an invalid array index warning, you should instead perform an `isset()` check on the array index before trying to access it. When possible, always prevent PHP errors rather than catching and handling them afterward. It makes the code more understandable and avoids dealing with slow error suppression methods. However, there are some cases where warnings are inevitable, even if you check beforehand, like when accessing files. You can check that the file exists by using `file_exists()` and `is_readable()`, but the file could have been deleted by the time you go to read it. In that case, you can use this library to suppress the warnings and prevent PHP from being noisy. Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use Wikimedia\AtEase\AtEase; // Suppress warnings in a block of code: AtEase::suppressWarnings(); $content = file_get_contents( 'foobar.txt' ); AtEase::restoreWarnings(); // ..or in a callback function: AtEase::quietCall( 'file_get_contents', 'foobar.txt' ); ``` Running tests ------------- [](#running-tests) ``` composer install --prefer-dist composer test ``` History ------- [](#history) This library was first introduced in [MediaWiki 1.3](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.3) ([r4261](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rSVN4261)). It was split out of the MediaWiki codebase and published as an independent library during the [MediaWiki 1.26](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.26) development cycle. --- ### Health Score 56 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance64 Regular maintenance activity Popularity54 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community26 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
