When I use my home php/Apache local network I get the very nice error
message below: [php 4.2.7]

Parse error: parse error in /Users/xxx/Sites/theprogram.php on line 47


But on the network where the thing is supposed to run [php 5.2.?]
the same error produced nothing but a blank screen even though I had
error reporting set to E_ALL and error display on. [I have seen enough
other error messages and 'Notices' there to know that error reporting is on]
Is there yet another parameter that I need to set?

thanks, --thelma
