Not sure what you mean by 'the line number of the merged single file.' ? a syntax error will mention the correct file unless you don't close a block. For trace debuging i use (in common.php): function debug($fl, $ln, $msg='') { global $debug; if (! empty($debug)) printf("<DIV ALIGN=\"LEFT\"><FONT SIZE=\"-1\">%s %s:\n%s</FONT></DIV>", $fl , $ln ,$msg); } and used as : $qry="select id, name, contact, email, addr1, addr2, city, state, 1zip, country, left(datesigned,10) as ds from webmaster where id=$qwid"; debug(__FILE__,__LINE__, $qry); $res = mysql_query($qry); if ( $res) { ... just add &debug=1 to the url to trace out execution.
