1. In the ACP along with the security tools, there should a CHMOD checker. Or more like a writeable/execuatable/readable checker. It checks all the files if the files has the proper permission to it. It should check all directories and files. Also it should check for index.html exists in all the folders do people don't read what is in the directories.

2. There is a SQL error logger. There should be a PHP error logger also. This is also useful for mod developers also. If it is possible, log all the IPB errors also.

1) The permissions checker is on the Help & Support tab :) - it only checks permissions on files/folders that need to be writable though

Regrettably, that's impossible. PHP considers everything that isn't a warning as FATAL, and stops execution. There is nothing stopping you from modifying your PHP.INI to log errors to a file or simply show them on screen though.

Yes, hopefully PHP 6 improves on PHP's abysmal error handling support. PHP currently lags FAR behind pretty much every other web language so far in this aspect. (I admit it, I like ASP.NET's exception handling the best. You can handle pretty much everything however you like! Java may be similar, but that's the spawn of the devil)
