   hi all.

   i am in the process of writing a plugin.
   i realize when i make a syntax error, nothing will be output and i have to check the apache log.

   here is the question:
   how can i change wp so that it will report syntax error to client?
   like in normal php... if u do
   <? invalid syntax' (); ?>
   the brwoser will tell u that u have made a syntax error.
   how can i make wp behaves like regular php

   WordPress is regular PHP. Turn your PHP error reporting on.

   If you're running under Apache, then it's possible that your host has globally disabled displaying errors. Try adding these two lines to your own ".htaccess" file:
   
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on

   Because WP parses templates, if a file has an error, you'll only get a "blank page" unless you make an HTTP request directly for the plugin. eg.
   http://www.yoursite.com/blogfolder/wp-content/plugins/yourplugin.php
   If there are syntax errors you'll then see them. Once the page is OK you'll get an "option not found" type of error depending if the plugin is adding an action, option, filter, etc.
