it takes 10 minutes to write a script running hourly or whatever
you want per cron, mailig you the error-log and reset it at the
same time

what you are doing is gambling that a random user will notify
you about warnings not realizing that they mostly not do

NEVER rely on a enduser reporting problems where this can
be automated especially because php-warnings in the source
code often breaks applications by have them in a form-value
or in javascript parts, having them in a from-value can
easily result in post them finally in a database

this is not a business decision, this is poor administration
