Display PHP Error Messages, WordPress Debug Code

[David M]

In my development site I am looking to be able to display PHP whilst still having BPS active.
I have edited my php.ini file and changed:
display_error=On
display_startup_erros=On
However, when I check within the php.ini Security Status tab these two values are still being displayed as Off
Also I am not getting any error messages displayed when I deliberately create an error in my php code – all that happens is that the page does not display.
Can you tell me what settings are need to make to enable display of errors for a development site.
I fully understand the need to switch display off in my production sites but I want to get my development site[s] set up in the most productive way.
Thanks
David

You can do this using the BPS Pro P-Security >>> ini_set Options.  Choose Turn On Display Errors and Turn On Display Startup Errors and then click 1. Save Options and 2. Enable Options buttons.

I am not sure if WordPress Debugging options in the wp-config.php file will interfere with this in WordPress 3.5 or 3.5.1.  It did not in previous versions of WordPress, but a lot of things changed in 3.5.

If what you are actually looking for is WordPress Debugging or if for some reason turning on ini_set Options does not work correctly for you intended purposes then you can use this WordPress Debug code in your wp-config.php file.  You would change “false” to “true” for debugging.

/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

Many thanks.
I confirm that the following worked in 3.5.1
You can do this using the BPS Pro P-Security >>> ini_set Options.  Choose Turn On Display Errors and Turn On Display Startup Errors and then click 1. Save Options and 2. Enable Options buttons.
Appreciate the speedy response
