Turning on error reporting in PHP.ini

Arc

Hey guys. I have the php.ini file and I need to set it to show all errors. HOw do I go about doing that? I see in the file where it is talking about error reporting, but I am not sure what to put or how to put it exactly.

Thanks!🙂

devinemke

error_reporting = E_ALL

Arc

It already has that.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & etc...

But when an error occurs you just see a blank white page with no text...Any idea why?

Thanks!🙂

No, not this:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & etc...

This:

error_reporting = E_ALL

Like devinemke said.

Also make sure there's no semicolon at the start of the line. Then save the file and restart your server.

Edit: Be sure to comment out (place a semicolon in front of) or delete any other "error_reporting =" lines.

Get rid of all the and-ings, they're actually subtracting from E_ALL, what devenemke said, just that on the line

Ok cool, thank a lot guys. One problem though. This is a shared hosted server, not my own. How will I get them to reboot it? I dont think they will.

Now you tell us. 🙂

Put this at the top of your script(s):

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

You can also do it in a .htaccess file.

Ok. I edited the php.ini file to say error_reporting = E_ALL only.

And I put

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

at the top of the page, but I am still just getting a blank white page when there is an error in the code 😕

ugh...

Maybe your provider has safe mode turned on, and maybe you can't make these changes in safe mode. I don't know. Maybe someone who does will tell us.
