Run PHP script but browser blank NADA

[sen5241b]

After I upgraded my server I stopped getting PHP errors displayed. Now, when there is a typo, the browser is blank there is nothing. Firefox and IE both do this. If I find the typo and fix it then the browser displays what I have in the script. I have no php.ini

In my script I have the following but it doesn't help.

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

I have no php.ini

Then put one in the site root folder and set error reporting on.

Oh!


Either that, or avoid making any typing errors in your scripting.

Another way is to create a file that has just the error reporting code in it. And then include the script you are targeting. Then the script will not fail at parse time.

Avoid errors. why didn't I think of that!
Putting a php.ini in root web folder "/" with error_reporting set to On does nothing.
My php.ini has

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = on

problem solved

Okay, so on Godaddy servers there is a file called .user.ini in the public_html folder that lets you set parms that would normally be in php.ini. Make sure your ftp client has "show hidden files" turned on.

It was the best I could come up with based on the information in your description of the problem.


Now ...

Okay, had you mentioned GoDaddy shared hosting in your original post some of us may have been able to tell you that from the word go.

They use a different name for the global php.ini local override file because it helps to prevent some of the common exploits that target a local php.ini to reactivate globally disabled functions.
