Displaying Error Messages

[malsdavis]

Since switching from ASP to PHP, the main annoyance I've been having is that when I'm writing my php scripts, about 95% errors produce no error messages and instead just display a blank page, I think its whenever an error has todo with a database related problem (I'm using the ADODB scripts).

The sort of errors messages I'm after are the usual ones displaying a basic description of what the error is and the line number of where the error occured.

Is it possible to turn these types of error messages on so they display on the page like they do in ASP?

try looking in the error log

IDIOT

you might also want to have a closer look at your php.ini file

The point of my question is that I'm wondering if it is possible to have the error messages displaying on the actual web page (like in ASP) rather than in a error log.

yes it is

edit your php.ini

Ah thanks,

In the php.ini I changed the error_reporting variable to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE; and everything seems to be working as wanted.
