I believe the error_reporting is the default. I haven't changed anything configuration wise.
I will have to look back at my php version.
It also occurred to me that the code is being run to process an 'ajax' async request.
When errors or warnings are issued, they are sent in the async response. So I have
to use the javascript call back function to show me what is coming back. I may have
been neglecting to have javascript show the response string. I comes back in a load
of html markup. Unlike a synchronous request, the error markup is not processed
and displayed as html by the browser.
