It is a college web server with about 300 users and 20 departments, each with their own site in the same virtual host and many thousand pages. I need to be able to have users turn on error display while creating/debugging their script and then turn it off. The above solution from php.net would be ideal. The suggestion was to use a script like this, say call it mypagedebug.php, and include the script to be debugged, say mypage.php, like so: <?php error_reporting(E_PARSE); ini_set('display_errors','On'); ini_set('display_startup_errors','On'); include('mypage.php'); ?> Then when debugging was done, just delete the debug script. I moved it to a test server and could get it to work but only if display_errors was set to on in the global php.ini file. I can't do that on the production server. The manual says display_errors can be overridden in a script. I used ini_get() to see if the value was actually being changed, it was. However, it still doesn't print the errors unless the global ini is set. Any ideas as to why it's not working?
