title: How to force error_reporting mode in PHP 5.3
body: <p>I have some code that's encrypted with ioncube and it's also written for &lt; PHP 5.3. There's a ton of deprecated code, which would still work, but there's error messages all over the site.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of externally forcing error_reporting to E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED or similar? I'm sure in the code they're hardcoding to E_ALL for some reason.</p>
