php connection

deephp

Hello
I'm trying to test connection between my php files and a local host, when I write the construct function to display a text it returns blank page.

<?php

class App

{
public function __construct()
{
echo 'OK';

}

This is the index file

<?php

require_once(DIR. '../app/init.php');

$app = new App;

I'm using MAMP server and my php version is 7.

The path in your require statement is likely incorrect, which would produce a php error, or you are requesting the file through the file system, rather than through a URL, which would result in the raw php code being seen in the 'view source' of the page in your browser.

Do you have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON (preferably in the php.ini on your development system), so that php would report and display all the error it detects. Are you requesting the file using a URL, something like http://localhost/your_file.php and what does the blank page look like in the 'view source' in your browser?

And the error log says, "blah blah blah blah blah ..." ?

"I set error_reporting to TRUE and turned on display_errors with [man]ini_set/man and now the page says 'blah blah blah'..."

It's very helpful to do your coding on a development server where you have [man]display_errors[/man] set to On and [man]error_reporting[/man] set to E_ALL in your PHP.ini file. If you do not, it's often hard to figure out what went wrong. Or, as dalecosp points out, you can go look in the [man]error_log[/man] which gets written by PHP when errors are encountered. To find out what these settings are, you can create a file like this:

<?php
phpinfo();

I found some missing things and yes I set an error message that showed me where the errors and now it is working fine
