Error Reporting Not Working

[commander]

I am using: 5.4.9-4 ubuntu2.4 version of php. I have placed this code directly under the opening php tag:

 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

 

But, I only get a blank screen when there is an error. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

Also - If you have any idea of how to globally change the setting in my php.ini file that would be great (can't find it in Appendix A of the book - I have opened the correct file in a text editor, but did not want to make any mistakes - FYI: "error reporting' in my phpinfo() file currently shows: 22527)

 

 

Thanks

To edit the properly in the file itself, just open the php.ini file, and then search for display_errors.

Thanks so much! I am now seeing error messages (although I still don't know why that code snippet was not doing the same for the specific file)

Not sure either.

Sorry.
