Question

I have a development version of PHP on Apache. I moved it to production and got this weird notices in my website. I don't have it on development version. How to enable these notices on my development version of website to fix them?

Answer 1

If you have access to your php.ini, then Bj?rn answer is the way to go.

However, if you don't, or if you want to change a particular script / project error level, do this at the beginning of your code:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Enable error reporting for NOTICES
error_reporting(E_NOTICE);

You can see which levels are available for error_reporting here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php.

It's always a good practice not to show any errors on production environments, but logging any weird behaviors and sending by mail to the administrator. NOTICES should only be enabled on development environments.
