Hello!

I just finished the PHP Syntax Exam at http://www.blueshoes.org/en/developer/syntax_exam/ in 3045 seconds and had 7 errors in 69 questions.

Do you think you can beat me?

If you run Apache with PHP, you can control PHP error output in a per-directory basis, without changing settings in php.ini by writting php directives to a .htaccess file.

Create a file named .htaccess in the webserver directory you want to configure and put those values in it:

php_flag display_errors On
php_value error_reporting E_ALL

For more explanation on error_reporting behaviour and parameters read about it in PHP manual.
