error reporting

// Add these lines somewhere on top of your PHP file:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);/* Answer to: "php error reporting" */

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

/*
  What do these lines of code do exactly?

  The ini_set function will try to override the configuration found
  in your PHP ini file.

  The display_errors and display_startup_errors are just two of the
  directives that are available. The display_errors directive will
  determine if the errors will be displayed or hidden to the user.
  Usually, the dispay_errors directive should be turned off after
  development.

  The display_startup_errors, however, is a separate directive
  because the display_errors doesn’t handle the errors that will be
  encountered during PHP’s startup sequence. The list of the
  directives that can be overridden by the ini_set function is found
  in the official documentation.
*/// how to display php errors on your browser : 
// first step, create an error function : 

$errors = array();

// now you have just to insert the function like this : 

if (........){
  $errors['the_name_of_the_error']='the error message';
}

// example : 
// we want to display an error when the user does not correctly fill, 
// in the 'password' box when registering on your website : 

if(empty($_POST['password']) ||
   $_POST['password'] != $_POST['password_confirm']){
	$errors['errors']= "You must enter a valid password";
}
