    Trish, this is a general question rather than a database question,
so it's being forwarded to the PHP-General list as well.  It will not
only get you some more detailed replies, but it helps keep the
archives organized.  If you're not already subscribed, please consider
doing so: http://php.net/mailinglists

    Try something like this at the head of your code:
<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
?>

    Keep in mind that it will only be executed in the same script as
it's coded, and only if/when those lines are executed.  It won't set
the system-wide (or even same-session) display_errors, it only enables
that option for that script at that time.
