Comment (by AKTed):

 While it is ''live'', as I mentioned it is for testing/staging, so it is
 accessible to public. I need the notices and warnings. Since I'm not savvy
 enough to configure my local XAMPP identical to my shared host I use a
 live testbed.

 But if it shows the same errors to end users, regardless of WP_DEBUG
 setting, then it seems to be a major security issue. No one (other than
 myself, those I choose, and my host) should have '''''any''''' way to know
 my site's underlying file structure and DB host.

 Since this is on my shared hosting account, my "for real" live site and my
 testbed use the same DB servers. They do have their own DB's, though. I
 imagine (but didn't have time to test) that when my testbed was down, my
 live site was down as well.
