PHP Fatal Errors

[cancer10]

HI

Why do not my php page display fatal errors?

I am using the following code in all of my pages.

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

My page when receiving a fatal error displays a blank page instead of a fatal warning.

Is there any other settings i need to do?

I am using PHP 5 with Apache 2.2

I'm not sure if this is the right answer but if I recall correctly you use 'on' in:

ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

The only difference I can see in my config is that I use a double quoted string in my ini_set parameters, instead of your single quoted one.

Also unless you are root, your host has to allow for php.ini overrides.

php first parses and then compiles the entire file before it begins executing even the first line. So if the file has a parse error in it, your attempts to turn up error reporting in that file won't ever be executed.

You can turn up error reporting in a .htaccess file, or in php.ini. You can also do a temporary trick. Make a new file which has no parse errors, turn up error reporting, and then include the problem file.

<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include 'the_problem_file.php';

No, it's not. Did you read my post?

You can use 1, or on. Or I'm sure there are other possibilities.

That helped. BTW, can you please explain what is it doing?

First line they are setting errors display ON
Second line is they are turning error reporting on
Third line is they are including a file

But they forgot the closing ?>
