How can I turn off display_errors using .htaccess

[leozusa]

Hi, I asked before with no responses, I want to disable the display_error feature account-wide, as I always check the error_log instead

As can be seen in the official php doc (http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfu...display-errors) note 1:

"This is a feature to support your development and should never be used on production systems (e.g. systems connected to the internet)."

I am aware that this wont be changed system-wide and because of the same doc, note 2:

"Although display_errors may be set at runtime (with ini_set()), it won't have any affect if the script has fatal errors. This is because the desired runtime action does not get executed. "

So the only solution available is to add
php_value display_errors 0
to the .htaccess file, but doing so is giving me a 500 error

I'm enclosing it between a <ifModule mod_php5.c> tag with no effect, I just guess it's because the module has a custom name on the server, or something else I just can't figure out...

I have hours trying variations on this file, also already searched the KB and this forums with no success. Please give me some advise.

Thanks in advance!

We have PHP installed as a CGI binary across all of our servers. Any mod_php* specific Apache directives will not work.

Then how can I accompish this?? is there another way for me to turn off the display_errors directive? Please help me with this because I use XMLHttpRequest responses and they get dirty with php error messages when sometimes they are just notices... and there are times when ini_set doesn't stop them from appearing... So what could I do? BTW, thank you for your prompt response!
Edit:
maybe you can set up an environment variable inside my account??? Just a guess but maybe php accepts something like that...
