Introduction:

If your website is running well but still displaying unwanted warnings and notices, such as Warning: fsockopen(), you can easily hide them by making a small change to your .htaccess file. This is especially useful in a live production environment to avoid cluttering your website with error messages that could confuse visitors.

Prerequisites:

Before you begin:

• Ensure your server is running on Apache with PHP installed.
• You have access to your .htaccess file.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Locate the .htaccess file

Find the .htaccess file in your website’s root directory. If it’s not present, you can create one using a text editor.

Step 2: Open and edit the file

Add the following line to your .htaccess file to disable the display of errors:

php_flag display_errors off

Step 3: Save and upload the file

If you’re editing the file locally, upload it back to your server. If you’re editing the file directly on the server, simply save the changes.

Step 4: Check your website

Visit your website to confirm that the warnings and notices are no longer visible.

Conclusion:

Disabling warnings and notices using the .htaccess file is a quick and effective way to tidy up your website, especially for live production environments. While it’s important to hide these errors from users, make sure to log them for future troubleshooting.
