Thanks for all you replies, most of what you have suggested, I had already tried, in vain, before joining the list.
I retried most of the combinations and still cannot get it to report syntax errors. If I have errors, from say undefined variables, the error handler catches those just fine. Question: when I use the ini_set, does that stay set for the lifetime of the script executing or is it set for good? The reason I ask, is I wonder if the permissions on the 'Ini" file is blocking me from modifying it. All help is much appreciated.
