Show PHP errors in the page

Showing php errors on your dev machine is useful while programming. But when you move a piece of code to staging or even dev and you have an issue you may need a quick solve, either log files or a quick Show Errors on Page while on off peak hours. My case it is a staging environment so no worries on showing the errors.

You can set it in your php.ini but placing in your code with php functions allows you to easily set up various configs for different environments.

error_reporting(0); // hides all errors
error_reporting(-1); // shows all errors

Pretty simple, and really assists with fast debugging.

PHP Dynamic Constants

This is a way to print out a constant when you need to select the name dynamically.

Haven’t tried it yet, but I am adding because I am sure I will need it in the near future.

$changing_variable = 'foo_bar';
echo constant('FOO_' . strtoupper($changing_variable));
