Good cast.

I think it’s important to mention that display_errors should only be set to ‘on’ under development servers and should always be ‘off’ under production.

I personally find it easier to leave them both set to the default, secure setting as they are shipped with PHP. When in development, I include a ‘development.php’ file which has the following content.

Cheers,
