Try the free VIM text editor. All you need to do is cut and paste your code into the text editor and you can see the line and column number where your cursor is placed.

Sorry swamyvnvs, I got you wrong. I remember there is a plugin for Mozilla that tells you the errors but I cannot remember the name. The error is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Wonder whether it is Tidy.

Anyway, take a look at this and see if it helps: http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/

sorry ekompute,

I need php functions for finding the line number and column number for displaying the error.

Hahaha, sorry again. I guess what you need is a php debugger. If it doesn’t work, then hopefully, someone else will come to your aid.
