You can enable the reporting of errors in your PHP script at runtime using the error_reporting() function and defining the reporting level.
PHP error reporting can be enabled for all PHP scripts in your account by setting the error_reporting() to the desired level using the PHP Settings section and the “Configure php.ini” tab.
