not seeing errors or warnings...

For some reason, I do not see warnings or errors when I run PHP (I am using PHPVersion 5.0.0RC1, and Apache 2.0)

Here is an example of an error that does not show:

function test($param) {
...
}

test(); // calling a function without a parameter

How can I enforce PHP and Apache to always show all the errors and warnings? This is crucial during development.

This is how php.ini is configured:
error_reporting = E_ALL

what can I do?

Is show_errors on in php.ini?

hmm, shouldnt PHP5 also use display_errors?

Eek! Yes. My Mistake 🙁

if $param does not exist then wont it class the parameter of the function as void?

$param is the expected parameter of the function.

There should be an error, since there is no default argument.

so if $param doesnt exist then:

function test($param) {

}
is different from:
function test () {

}

yes, display_errors was off. That was the problem.
Thanks guys
