I seem to recall that there was a set options in Firefox so that PHP
errors would be reported. Appreciate it greatly if someone could tell
me how to set these options..

Thanks..

Not possible since PHP errors do not propagate past the server, except
as obscure and broken HTML perhaps.

If you want to turn reporting on, on *that*, its tools-> error console,
typically.

There isn't such a option for obvious physical reasons. What you
probably recall is FirePHP or some similar invention:

http://www.firephp.org/

But of course it's not just an option you enable on the client: you need
to install all the stack and explicitly send error messages from your
PHP code.

What you want to do is edit /etc/php.ini *on the server* to include:

; Print out errors (as a part of the output). For production web sites,
; you're strongly encouraged to turn this feature off, and use error logging
; instead (see below). Keeping display_errors enabled on a production web site
; may reveal security information to end users, such as file paths on your Web
; server, your database schema or other information.
display_errors = On

; Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during PHP's startup
; sequence are not displayed. It's strongly recommended to keep
; display_startup_errors off, except for when debugging.
display_startup_errors = On

Note the warnings. The above is from a developmental system that is
not exposed to the public Internet (actually my Linux desktop system,
that has Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc. installed and has a mirror of my
company website on it).

There's a PHP setting that controls the level of error reporting,
determined by php.ini or dynamically set via error_reporting().

You might be thinking of the FireFox "live headers" plugin doodad that
will show you the http headers returned by any server, not just one
that happens to be running PHP.

But nekkid FireFox can't tell the PHP interpreter on the server what
errors it ought to report.
