A few days ago I came across Microsoft WebMatrix 2. It makes getting IIS up and running as well as installing various scripting environments and databases as well as web apps (several CMS, forums, etc) point and click easy.
I was interested in the editor since I love Visual Studio and heard that even for PHP editing, it supported InteliSense. Not everything is great about it but the editor is very nice and I got PHP and MySQL up and running on IIS Compact or whatever they call it with only its Wizard.
Anyway, my question is.
What really kills this thing is the way (or lack there of) of error output when you are running PHP. Instead of PHP error noted on the webpage, WebMatrix will just issue a 500 error page if anything goes wrong. Without errors being output, this really makes it a tough sell if I will continue using it.
Who else uses it for PHP development and is there a way to fix 'error suppression'?
