any tips? the only two things I really do now are comment out various blocks of code and test certain stuff in simpler test files. I wish it would direct me to line numbers for syntax errors and stuff; it's really kind of obnoxious to debug.
well what do you know, Google was helpful. I thought I had searched the web for this before and come up pretty much empty-handed. I found something about display_errors and log_errors and I've got both of those turned on now. now I have line numbers in Apache's error_log :).
xdebug is a nice php module has some stack trace options.

error_reporting(E_ALL); // REMOVE FOR PRODUCTION
i just do that and it always gives me enough info to find the lines.
