Re: php 5.1.1 syntax errors

internals, it may be a badly worded (and inappropriately directed) post BUT I can categorically say that php5+ does have problems with displaying errors under certain circumstances - you see nothing anywhere regardless of ini/log/display settings. I have had such issues since php.5.0.3beta, I have never been able to reproduce the issue in a simple script (certain degree of code complexity is required - in practice that means running a 'production' framework of some sort). examples of the sort of problems that cause NOTHING to be reported, NOTHING to be logged and NOTHING to be displayed: 1. failed require/require_once statements. 2. non-abstract class with abstract methods (as declared in a base class). 3. method signature incompatibilities. when faced with such an error (like I just spent another 2 hours figuring out a newly developed class was missing a method [no. 2] - not the first time!) the only recourse I have it to start at the first line of php that is run and write something like: die("WTF IS GOING ON!?!?! :-("); and then keep moving it a line or 2 down at a time (stepping into all/any include files, of which there are normally about 25-50) until I find the offending line/file (at which point I can try to figure out what is actually wrong).

Is there any reason why the php 5.1.1 command processor does not report syntax errors despite all errors being on in the .ini file? Maybe I'm doing something stupid.

mee too - wish I knew what it was.
