This is in continuation of the thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1070007 . Since the topic has changed I thought to start a new thread. I was trying to get my browser report errors, but nothing on php.net could help...finally I landed here http://www.floresense.com/resc_center/?art=1335 The first two points are the same but the 3rd point in above link did the job for me...once it started working I reverted the changes I made to ini file and now, only the httpd.conf contains the parameters... php_flag display_errors on php_value error_reporting 2039 PHP: I checked after bouncing the server and the error reporting is still working. So far so good. 1) Can someone tell me why ini configuration didn't work for me? The above link has mentioned something like "If you checked above two points and you are still not getting php errors displayed on screen, then it could be a config bug with php itself (something you cant do anything about)" but has not given any reason. 2) Are the settings in httpd.conf override that in .ini file. FYI... I have used the PHP ini that is shown through phpinfo() under Loaded Configuration File
