Force a PHP error on server

I am the manager for a PHP project where we have had a soft launch but are still finding errors on the web site.  The PHP programmer has has complete control of the code.  I keep telling him to turn off PHP error reporting in PHP.INI because many times we discover an error it gives the file and line number of the error out to the entire world!

Is there a way I can force a PHP error to occur to see if he really turned it off?  I don't have server access.

There is no way to force an error without seeing the code. It all depends on what inputs are there ad how they are handled
You can add the following function in the .php file for which want to enable the error reporting,
 
error_reporting(E_ALL);
