verbose debug messages with php74 cli

pecus

Today I noticed that using php74 in the CLI returns several messages that the default version of php (7.3.33) doesn't. Everything runs but CLI commands display a lot of unwanted messages.
It seems a systemwide configuration (we did not change our php.ini recently and it worked nicely up until a few weeks ago).

php74 -v
Mon Jan  9 09:54:31 2023 (254218): Debug Loading blacklist file:  '/etc/opt/remi/php74/php.d/opcache-default.blacklist'
PHP 7.4.30 (cli) (built: Jun  7 2022 08:38:19) ( NTS )

the unwanted message is

Mon Jan  9 09:54:31 2023 (254218): Debug Loading blacklist file:  '/etc/opt/remi/php74/php.d/opcache-default.blacklist'

When running scripts, these lines can add up in tens.
anyone with the same issue? can this be fixed?

pecus we're presently debugging some problems on a few servers with PHP 7.4 related to the PHP opcache so we're running PHP with increased logging verbosity for opcache messages. We'll revert to the original configuration when our testing is complete and at that point the verbose messages should stop.

If you need to suppress the messages in the interim then you can redirect stderr into /dev/null like so:

php74 -v 2>/dev/null

... however, this will suppress all error messages from your script.
