Description
When a PHP error occurs in the admin that is suppressed using the @ operator, the .php-error class is still added to the <body> even though the error will not be output.
To reproduce, use error suppression on code that invokes an E_WARNING level error. I discovered this with code calling the mkdir() method within the WP_Filesystem_Direct class for a pre-existing directory.
@mkdir( ABSPATH . 'wp-content/themes/' ); should reproduce the issue after ensuring nothing else is actively capturing and processing PHP errors (such as Query Monitor).

Hello there, I have added the E_WARNING to the condition, and when the error is silenced, the empty space is not present however, if the error is not silenced part of the message appears under the menu. I will tweak it a bit more, but if anyone has another idea, I am open to suggestions. I have tried using,
! in_array( $error_get_last['type'], array( E_NOTICE, E_WARNING )
, but the second condition causes the empty space to be present if the error is silenced elsewhere.

During today’s bug scrub, @SergeyBiryukov shared some concerns about the proposed approach. By the way, I tested the patch and it looks like it fixes the issue.

It seems patch not consider last space in the code
&& ( E_NOTICE !== $error_get_last['type'] || 'wp-config.php' !== wp_basename( $error_get_last['file'] ) )

I just encountered the issue in the real world.
I applied the patch and it worked fine on my side. @SergeyBiryukov not marking this for commit as you wanted to take the time to deeply review the patch, but it looks good to go on my side :)

Would love to get this in 5.7, but it would need to be merged inside a week. Think we can make that happen @SergeyBiryukov ?

- Milestone changed from 5.7 to 5.8
5.7 RC1 is tomorrow. Per scrub discussion today with @SergeyBiryukov:
I think the patch might fix the issue at hand, but I'm not sure that code still does what it's intended to do then :slightly_smiling_face: Since it's not specific to 5.7, I think it can be punted to 5.8.
Moving this ticket to 5.8.

- Milestone changed from 5.8 to 5.9
I agree with Sergey that a deeper review is needed to ensure the original intent remains. Also should revisit his suggestions here:
In a future release, we could try something like:
- Saving the value of
error_reporting()before it's affected bywp_debug_mode().. - Using that to only print the class if we determine that the error was displayed according to that setting.
As the issue is not due to 5.7 or 5.8 and today is 5.8 Beta 1, punting to 5.9.
Adding to my tasks list to help out for resolution landing in 5.9.
Placing this in the 5.5.2 milestone as this would be a good to fix to backport.
Also, I forgot to include why this is undesirable. The
.php-errorclass ensures PHP errors are not hidden behind the admin bar. But since the error is suppressed, it just results in a blank space at the top of the page.
