turn off buffering in php.ini

[bluethundr]

Occasionally I will write code in php that fails to render ANYTHING on the screen. I have

 

error_reporting E_ALL

display_errors = 1

 

Set in my php.ini file and I have removed the mysql error suppression symbol '@' from my code. And yet when I load the page in my browser....nada! 

 

Thanks!

It would be -

error_reporting = E_ALL

 

Have you checked using a phpinfo() statement if the settings are actually being changed to those values (in case the php.ini that you are changing is not the one that php is using)?

Thanks, I added the missing equal sign.  But for some reason this code is still not rendering.

 

example.8-12.php

<?php
require 'db.inc';
require_once "HTML/Template/ITX.php";

function formerror(&$template, $message, &$errors)
{
  $errors = true;
  $template->setCurrentBlock("error");
  $template->setVariable("ERROR", $message);
  $template->parseCurrentBlock("error");
}

if (!($connection =  mysql_connect("localhost", "thatguy", "yahright?")))
   die("Could not connect to database");

$phonebook_id = mysqlclean($_POST, "phonebook_id", 5, $connection);
$firstname = mysqlclean($_POST, "firstname", 50, $connection);
$surname = mysqlclean($_POST, "surname", 50, $connection);
$phone = mysqlclean($_POST, "phone", 20, $connection);

$template = new HTML_Template_ITX("./templates");
$template->loadTemplatefile("example.8-10.tpl", true, true);

$errors = false;

if (empty($firstname))
  formerror($template, "The first name field cannot be blank.", $errors);

if (empty($surname))
  formerror($template, "The surname field cannot be blank.", $errors);

if (empty($phone))
  formerror($template, "The phone field cannot be blank", $errors);

// Now the script has finished the validation, show any errors
if ($errors)
{
  $template->show();
  exit;
}

// If we made it here, then the data is valid
if (!mysql_select_db("telephone", $connection))
  showerror();

// Update the phonebook entry
$query = "UPDATE phonebook SET surname = '{$surname}',
         firstname = '{$firstname}',
         phone = '{$phone}'
         WHERE phonebook_id = {$phonebook_id}";

if (!( mysql_query ($query, $connection)))
   showerror();

// Show the phonebook receipt
header("Location: example.8-5.php?status=T&phonebook_id={$phonebook_id}");
?>
