Trying to turn Php errors on!

[JennyPeters]

I'm tring to turn PHP errors on to degug my work, but had had no luck.

I have used the following 3 lines:
ini_alter("display_errors", "1"
ini_alter("error_reporting", "E_ALL"
ini_alter("display_startup_errors", "1"

... which does turn them on according to phpinfo(), but still no error messages...

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

Jennny

I'm not certain, but I believe that when you make changes to the ini file you have to restart PHP in order for them to take effect.

Try doing it like this:

ini_alter("display_errors", "On"
ini_alter("error_reporting", "E_ALL"
ini_alter("display_startup_errors", "On"

("On" instead of the number 1).

Also, you have to remember the order of execution here. If you are making these calls somewhere in a PHP script, they will only affect errors that come after you turn on error reporting. In other words, this should be at the "top" level of your include files, or should be at the very top of the PHP script you are using. In fact, I don't know if the "display_startup_errors" setting will even work, because those errors occur upon startup of the webserver, and are thus "finished" before you enable that setting in your script. -------------------------------------------
