debugging wordpress

Question

I noticed that when I'm working on a php page that loads wp programmatically, some of my errors are not fired. For example, a variables that has not initialized previously creates a warning when I have the E_ALL on top, but not when I load wp after that.

Any comments?

how do I put wordpress in a mode so that anything wrong anywhere is reported.

Answer 1

if you set WP_DEBUG to true in wp-config.php it should output all your errors. Alternatively, you can use something like Debug Bar or BlackBox to display the errors. How much you need should determine your solution.
