[FX.php List] How to turn on PHP error reporting on OS X

[Steve Hannah]

Adding error_reporting() to each page will display runtime errors but  
won't display parse errors.  If you want to display parse errors you  
have to make the change inside the php.ini file.  This only makes  
sense because if there is a parse error then the error_reporting()  
function will never be processed.

Best regards
