PHP script dies silently

PHP
1

I wrote a test script. If I have the following:

echo “aaa”;
echo $undefined_var;
echo “bbb”;

Then the script silently dies without errors. The php.ini file has “error_reporting = E_ALL” and “display_errors = On”. Any ideas?

I figured it out. An earlier ‘require’ statement had declared an error handler which was swallowing the errors.

If on the off-chance it ever happens again then try this:



echo '<br /> error_reporting() == ' .error_reporting();

echo '<br /> error_reporting() == ' .error_reporting(-1);

echo '<br /> ini_get( "display_errors") == ' . ini_get( "display_errors") ;

ini_set('error_log', getcwd().'/here-is-my-new-error_log.php');

die;

Ok, thanks, it might be useful to set the error log file which is something I had not considered.
