PHP command line run does not show errors

Try to set error_reporting to E_ALL instead of -1, this did the trick for me.

source: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php#85096

To override display_errors=Off in php.ini, add a -d flag to the command line:

php -d display_errors=on  script.php

Or just edit the ini and turn the flag on.
