If the info isn't displayed long enough for you to read it, you could try capturing it to a file like this:
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors');
$file = fopen($filename, "w");
if (!$file) {
ob_start();
echo 'failed open file';
var_dump('filename', $filename, 'file', $file);
$buf = ob_get_clean();
$timestamp = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
error_log("[$timestamp]n$bufnn", 3, XOOPS_CACHE_PATH . '/debug.log');
return false;
}
Thanks for the help.
