I would like to add some debugging/info code to my pages. In test environment of course. Any ideas how to do this? I mean for example to print to a web page the line number when the script fails or something like that. It's a pain on the **s to hunt typo's by just reading the source over and over again.

William, I start by trying to programatically find out if I'm in a development or production environment and setting a constant DEV to true or false. For me, I development things on my desktop Mac, so the server and client are the same machine, and share the same IP address. So my check for DEV is if the client IP and server IP match. <? define('DEV',($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']==$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'])); ?>

Interesting. So I just need to use the same hosting server as you do and your scripts will tell me interesting facts ;) I use simple define('DEBUG', true'); in the main config file where also database login info is stored.
