For syntax errors, you need to enable error display in the php.ini.
By default, these are turned off because you don’t want a “customer” seeing the error messages.
In the PHP documentation for information on the 2 directives: error_reporting and display_errors
display_errors is probably the one you want to change. If you can’t modify the php.ini, you can also add the following lines to a .htaccess file:
|
1 2 |
php_flag display_errors on php_value error_reporting 2039 |
You may want to consider using the value of E_ALL (as mentioned by Gumbo) for your version of PHP for error_reporting to get all of the errors.
