Need a Friendly Mac/php Guru Type to Help me over an obstacle.

[huck555]

This is the third time I've made the effort to enter the gate of php programing.

 

Each attempt ends in failure at the same point. I can no longer remember what I've installed or removed.

 

I know this:

 

I uploaded the test php file on my website.

It opens my php info on the browser ver 5.2.2.I read this is a green light, I can proceed.

 

Everything is as Dave Powers In DWCS3, CSS, AJAX, PHP Essential Guide says it should be with the exception of:

 

display_errors is Off, I'm told it should be On.

log_errors is Off, I'm told it should On.

 

I followed instructions to make changes with Text Wrangler (All Files Selected) to open Hidden file php.in in the usr:local: lib:php.ini

 

I get to local and Bam! There is nothing there but a file titled Hermes.

 

What next? Please.

You could just set those at a script level with ini_set.

 

 

Make a page with:

 

<?php
phpinfo();

 

Then go to it through your browser (http://localhost/somepage.php for example), and see what php.ini it says is loaded.
