phpstuff Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Getting blank screen - I went back into the php.ini file (see below) to double check it. I set the following and removed the ";" so that they aren't commented out: display_startup_errors = On display_errors = On error_reporting = E_ALL Isn't this all I really have to do? What else could be the problem here? I did read somewhere that you have to restart the servers for changes to take effect - I did that twice already... Any other ideas? **BELOW = The entire Error handling section excerpted from my php.ini file. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Error handling and logging ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; error_reporting is a bit-field. Or each number up to get desired error ; reporting level ; E_ALL - All errors and warnings ; E_ERROR - fatal run-time errors ; E_WARNING - run-time warnings (non-fatal errors) ; E_PARSE - compile-time parse errors ; E_NOTICE - run-time notices (these are warnings which often result ; from a bug in your code, but it's possible that it was ; intentional (e.g., using an uninitialized variable and ; relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an ; empty string) ; E_CORE_ERROR - fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup ; E_CORE_WARNING - warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's ; initial startup ; E_COMPILE_ERROR - fatal compile-time errors ; E_COMPILE_WARNING - compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors) ; E_USER_ERROR - user-generated error message ; E_USER_WARNING - user-generated warning message ; E_USER_NOTICE - user-generated notice message ; ; Examples: ; ; - Show all errors, except for notices ; ;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE ; ; - Show only errors ; ;error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR ; ; - Show all errors except for notices ; error_reporting = E_ALL ; Print out errors (as a part of the output). For production web sites, ; you're strongly encouraged to turn this feature off, and use error logging ; instead (see below).

Repeated errors must occur in same file on same ; line until ignore_repeated_source is set true. ignore_repeated_errors = Off ; Ignore source of message when ignoring repeated messages.

Larry Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you're using MAMP, you need to edit the php.ini file within MAMP. You can't actually just edit the php.ini file directly. There's a MAMP menu item that takes you to editing the ini, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpstuff Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I did edit the php.ini file within MAMP, however, I discovered that there are 2 locations where different php.ini files are located!!! I just actually did some additional research and people were having the same issue as me: From: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14581460/mamp-really-wont-display-errors "MAMP was reading from /MAMP/bin/php/5.4.4, I was editing /MAMP/conf/php/5.4.4. What a pain!" And I completely agree with their last statement! Hope this helps somebody else... (Make sure to edit the file associated with the version of PHP you are running. I'm running PHP5.4.10 and when I edited that it finally worked). Make sure to also stop the servers that are running in MAMP, and then restart them. Once I did this, it worked: Warning: require(../mysqli_connect.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHP_MYSQL/login.php on line 14Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../mysqli_connect.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/PHP_MYSQL/login.php on line 14 I've never been so happy to see error messages.
