No Parse Errors in PHP 5.1.6

[bevos]

I just installed php 5.1.6 on Mac OSX 10.4.6. Now I get no parse error, just a blank page. In php 4.3 when it had a parse error it use to come up with error on line ##
e.g.

<?php
echo 'error'
echo 'error'
?>

no ; at end, it would say error Line 2, now just a blank page, no error message. This makes it hard to debug.

Is there some I can do to turn it on?

php.ini -- display_errors, error_reporting

thanks for pointing me to the php.ini but the changes I do don't work, what am I doing wrong?

I edit with BBedit 8.2.6 which handles to permissions to do so. I edit the Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini which is what phpinfo() say is the ini file.

So I got the right file

I remove the ; comment out

from:
; - display_errors = Off [Security]

to
- display_errors = On [Security]
or
- display_errors = 1 [Security]

or have tryed with no - at beginning

each time I restart webserver in system preferences sharing which should reparse the ini file.
Even tried restarting whole computer & another machine

What am I missing? I know its likely something simple but help!!

You're uncommenting the wrong thing - that entire comment section in the beginning is there for instruction only.

Look farther down.
