It may be that your hoster has made the wise decision in the meantime not to
display PHP error messages and warnings by default as that is considered a
security risk. If the culprit is not the client-side, those messages should
have been written to the server log instead. With good hosters you get
access to the server logs for your site, either through special agreement or
(more common) Web interface (Plesk et al.)
