Some kind of debug mode

Post by Stoker 4.0 »

When we have errors on the forum, often only a white page is displayed.
Would be nice with errors displayed on screen instead of reading apache logs.
Also with a contact admin option.

Anybody up for it? :)

Directions for enabling debug mode:

https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ebug-mode/

Change php.ini settings too:

Code: Select all

display_errors = On
error_reporting = E_ALL
This is not suitable for production environment unless you have no choice.Note that E_ALL will display some notices that are not errors but deprecation notices and coding standards guidelines.

So it was actually that easy, thanks
I have the setting in Plesk and php 8+
Prior to PHP 8.0.0, the default value was: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED. This means diagnostics of level E_NOTICE, E_STRICT and E_DEPRECATED were not shown.

Now I will go wait for some errors to show up :D
