Activate Error reporting

jcheema

Hi,

I am new to PHP so bear with me.
I want to activate Error_reporting so that I can debug my scripts. I have tried modifying the php.ini, and restarted the server, but could not make it work.

I also tried to use error_reporting(E_ALL), but no results.

Am using windows XP, PHP4 and Apache Server.

in the php.ini file there is a setting for "display_errors"

set that to "on" and you'll see every single error

BTW E_ALL is very very restrictive - you'll end up getting errors for things that are not actually errors (such as undeclared variables)

For developing purposes E_ALL & ~ E_NOTICE is enough

I have turned display_errors = ON in php.ini in c:\windows and phpinfo() shows that this is the php.ini being used. I also find that even trigger_error() doesn't display the error message.

phpinfo() also reveals
PHP Version 4.3.2
Debug Build no

I had downloaded the binaries for installin PHP.

I found that
display_errors=off
was included in a later section of php.ini which was overriding my statement. I can now debug my errors.

Thanks,
