Comment(by azaozz):

 When setting error_reporting shouldn't we be turning bits off instead of
 flipping them? Something like this
 {{{
 if ( defined( 'E_DEPRECATED' ) ) // Introduced in PHP 5.3, missing in
 early 6.x
     error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_USER_NOTICE &
 ~E_STRICT );
 else
     error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_USER_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT );

 }}}
 would work for all versions of php including 6.x.
