Just an idea:

How about adding the ability to turn on runtime 'warnings' in the PHP engine, such as when you try to read from a variable that has not been set yet, or even writing to a variable that has not been 'declared' and other such warnings.  It is just really annoying trying to debug PHP programs when it's so easy to accidentally forget to global a var in a function and use it and have things going haywire for no apparent reason...

Already there; check the manual:

  http://www.php.net/manual/function.error-reporting.php3

<?php
$oldlevel = error_reporting( E_ALL );
/* Do something; every little thing PHP catches will be displayed. */
. . . 
error_reporting( $oldlevel ); /* Reset the old level. */
?>
