[GreyPilgrim]

Hi

I know it is possible to have apache give output when there is a mistake in a pages php coding, , but I can't find how to turn it on. Can anyone advice me on how to do so please.

Thanks

i believe you have to turn off safe_mode inside of php.ini for real in depth stuff. otherwise all php errors should be dumped into the error log of apache

In php you can also add the following to a script to temporarily display debug info which is not a good idea on a live server.

ini_set('display_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

You may also want to take a look at firebug and firephp. Or if your editor can handle it xdebug.


If you want to look for errors in X-HTML, use firefox and install a validator plug-in
