Trish, this is a general question rather than a database question, so it's being forwarded to the PHP-General list as well. It will not only get you some more detailed replies, but it helps keep the archives organized. If you're not already subscribed, please consider doing so: http://php.net/mailinglists Try something like this at the head of your code: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors','On'); ?> Keep in mind that it will only be executed in the same script as it's coded, and only if/when those lines are executed. It won't set the system-wide (or even same-session) display_errors, it only enables that option for that script at that time. -- </Daniel P.
