error_reporting(E_ALL) does not produce error

Question

This is my php script-

<?php
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
?>

Which obviously should show something if it were to be executed.

All I see is an empty page. Why is error_reporting(E_ALL) not working?

<?php
  ini_set("display_errors", "1");
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
?>

Does not help either. All I get is an empty page.

I've been to php.ini and set display_errors = On and display_startup_errors = On . Nothing happens.

Answer 1

Your file has syntax error, so your file was not interpreted, so settings was not changed and you have blank page.

You can separate your file to two.

index.php

<?php
ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include 'error.php';

error.php

<?
echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);

Answer 2

That error is a parse error . The parser is throwing it while going through the code, trying to understand it. No code is being executed yet in the parsing stage. Because of that it hasn't yet executed the error_reporting line, therefore the error reporting settings aren't changed yet.

You cannot change error reporting settings (or really, do anything ) in a file with syntax errors.

Answer 3

In your php.ini file check for display_errors . I think it is off.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

Answer 4

In your php.ini file check for display_errors. If it is off, then make it on as below:

display_errors = On

It should display warnings/notices/errors .

Answer 5

you can try to put this in your php.ini:

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

In php.ini file also you can set error_reporting();

Answer 6

turn on display errors in your ini

Answer 7

Just do the following

1. Check phpinfo(); // search display_errors is on or off

2. If it is On , just add error_reporting(E_ALL); in your primary index file.

3. If it is Off , just add it in your primary index file

   ini_set("display_errors", "1"); //this is the instant setup for individual apps ini_set("display_errors", "1"); //this is the instant setup for individual apps error_reporting(E_ALL);

4. then check phpinfo(); // search display_errors , now it is on , which is only for this app

5. then create any code error for testing and reload the page

Hurray!!! Now you can see the errors in your console. If the errors is not displaying in your console and the page loading is failed with red alert in network? don't worry

Check if you're enabled the **modsecurity** and it has any rule checking is written in SecRule for php, remove that secrule or disable the modsecurity for your development period
