Can't force PHP to display errors. Making me insane.

Akito

So here's the deal. I am working on someone else's script that I can only see about half the code for (other half is in zend secure blah blah)

Anyways, I can't force php to show errors. I've tried INI set with htaccess, error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);, etc etc.. even with blatent errors in code, it just ignores me and doesn't display an error. Any idea why I can't get php to output errors? This isn't a production enviroment either..

there is
a setting in php.ini that you normally can change in .htaccess
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php#ini.display-errors

see also http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
with ini_set you can change some settings

examancer

error_reporting(E_ALL); ??

<?
	//include "temp_include.inc.php";
	error_reporting(E_ALL);
	asd

just produces a blank screen 🙁

I also have this setup (not at the same time) in the .htaccess file, but it does nothing as well:

php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting 7

Waaa 🙁

Are you absolutely certain that the php file is being executed? I noticed you didn't use the full php tag in your example.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "Hello World\n";
asd
?>

I always use the full PHP tag but this is someone else's code. And yeah, I'm sure it's being executed.

I'm a moron. It's my fault - I had it turned off in another .htaccess file. I was uploading the wrong one.
