Answer 1

I have exactly the same problem - I didn't manage to completely solve it, but I found out that all errors are correctly logged to a file, even though they are not displayed.

Just put this lines in your .htaccess/server config:

php_value       log_errors                      On
php_value       error_log                       "/path_to_logs/errors.log"

You also have to enable display_startup_errors to show Fatal errors:

Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during PHP's startup sequence are not displayed. It's strongly recommended to keep display_startup_errors off, except for debugging.

Also see the Note for display_errors:

Although display_errors may be set at runtime (with ini_set()), it won't have any affect if the script has fatal errors. This is because the desired runtime action does not get executed.

You can set both values in Zend Framework's application.ini. On a sidenote: if you set error_reporting(-1) it will report (!display) all errors, including E_STRICT and any future additions.
