if you make an syntax error then your script will never be run,
in which case the error reporting settings will never be set by your script.
if your on a local/dev machine try changing the relevant ini settings in php.ini
alternatively if you have the ability to use a .htaccess file (apache webserver)
the you can add the following 2 lines to set the error_reporting:
php_value display_errors On
php_value error_reporting 2048
(I wrote than off the top of my head - please check the manual for exact
ini setting names and values)
alternatively you could may 'tail' the relevant error_log (most often this is
the apache error log)
you can check what the current ini setting for something is using this:
echo ini_get("error_reporting");
