What does this mean in php.ini?

Question

assert.active = On

assert.bail = Off

How does it work?

Answer 1

If assert.active=on you can call assert('$x==1') in your code. If it fails (i.e. $x is something else than 1), depending on the value of assert.bail your script will either terminate or you get a warning. See more in http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.assert.php

Answer 2

From the PHP Manual:

assert.active: Enable assert() evaluation.
assert.bail : Terminate script execution on failed assertions.

Answer 3

You can always find it from php user manual

http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php

assert.active boolean

Enable assert() evaluation.

assert.bail boolean

Terminate script execution on failed assertions.
