for no "apparent" reason my development system has stopped
displaying syntax errors. Runtime errors display and are logged
in the apache2.log.

The phpinfo has:
display_errors Off Off
display_startup_errors Off
but
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini has both set to On

the only other php.ini found on the system is

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
and I have not examined it as I am not using the cli

I seem to be missing something about syntax error display

Check in the beginning of the output for the
"Loaded Configuration File" this one will tell you which ini file has
been loaded

The rows below will also include extra ini files which been loaded and
those can affect the result.

In addition to what J.O. said, ensure you don't have a .htaccess file
overriding those settings.

I looked through them and none mention "display_errors"

no .htaccess file above document_root.

I am sure that when I find it I will pound my head against the
desk, but, for now I am stimied.

Thank you both for your suggestions.
The problem was operator error.
Most of my development work is on a private network but
occasionally I need to do some fixing of a internet facing shared
server and we are not the owner/administrator of that server. So
I was complaining of the development server but the issues was
the public server.

Now that I found it's error log I can proceed.
