Is there a way to specify in php.ini or apache level that the script execution should halt on any warnings? I tried searching through google and stackoverflow but couldn't find any relevant information yet. I do know about the set_error_handler() function but I am looking to do this at the php.ini level.
A:
AKAIK, there is no way to do something like that at the configuration level. However, I think it could be done using PHP's set_error_handler function.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php
Within the function you set, can detect a warning via the ERROR_TYPE parameter, and halt the script using exit or die.

please read the question properly. i have already added that I know about the set_error_handler function but need a setting on the php.ini level. Thanks for the answer anyway.

Please read the answer, and the other answer: There is no way to do what you are asking for. The answer attempted to provide the behaviour you're looking for, if not by the means you wanted.

So like always it's a little difficult to prove a negative like you're asking. About 14 seconds of googling yields the complete list of php.ini directives:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php
There are only 4 instances of the word 'warning' on this page, so it looks like that exotic idea is not an option.

while i do not agree to the method of your search (halting can well be under a more general category and not with the word 'warning'), i do agree that this is an exotic idea :-).. just wanted to make sure that the warning messages on a production server could never affect my script execution... thanks.

I suppose you're right and if I was launching a space shuttle I would have put a little more effort into making sure there did not exist other directives that perhaps caused this behavior when toggled and were disguised as something innocent. :-)Just wanted to suggest to you the place I would look and give an example of how I would look for it. Like I said, difficult to prove the negative without testing or looking at code. You could also grep php.ini because, especially in 5.3 there are a ton of comments and if what you're looking for exists its comment might contain warning or hault.
