Contrary to most people's problem I cannot get PHP to stop showing errors, I have in my php.ini display_errors set to off but it still shows them, I have also tried .htaccess, and inline ini_set and error_reporting variables but the errors still show.

What can I do to prevent this overide?

Mac OS X Lion Server 10.7.1 MAMP Compiled using instructions from DIY Mac Server (diymacserver.com)

UPDATE:

This is where my php.ini file is stored...

This is where my php.ini is

This is the value of my display_errors setting at run time

This is the value of my display_errors

And this is the copy and paste value written in /etc/php.ini

display_errors = Off

Have you checked phpinfo() to make sure you're using the same php.ini that PHP is using (also, whether it says its on or off)? – DerfK Sep 2 '11 at 23:55
I had not but I have now and it was correct, I changed short tags to on in there and that worked so it's working and reading the file, but its not adhering to the settings for error reporting. – unknowndomain Sep 3 '11 at 11:30
I have added some more detail about my configuration – unknowndomain Sep 3 '11 at 11:41
Awesome thanks! – John Ballinger Sep 7 '11 at 0:51
I have managed to figure out that its happening because my php.ini isn't being read although its in place, can anyone suggest what permissions would be correct for a Apache 2 install running as _www in the group _www (mac os x) – unknowndomain Sep 7 '11 at 18:44

make sure your editing the right php.ini file as there are two ini files, one for apache and one for CLI.

Yes I am editing the right file, as I managed to enable short tags successfully. – unknowndomain Sep 3 '11 at 11:31

The display_errors directive can be altered at runtime with the ini_set function. Make sure that none of the code is turning error display back on.

Also, when you update php.ini settings, make sure to restart Apache.

Indeed it can and I have tried that but it still shows errors... – unknowndomain Sep 3 '11 at 11:31

Do you have an auto_append_file= setting that is causing php to include code on every page that uses ini_set() to turn the display back on?

It is set to blank – unknowndomain Sep 4 '11 at 6:37
