Reporting errors not working

[EchoFool]

Hey,

 

I have this on my page:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

ini_set("display_errors", 1);

 

But for some reason i still get white pages when i get errors... have i got the right errors set or does it not include all error types?

Fatal parse errors are the most common reason for blank pages (the second most common would be code that does not output anything.) You cannot set the error_reporting/display_errors settings in your code and display fatal parse errors because your code is never executed to change the settings.

so does my server log the cause of a white page in my logs file .txt or i just got to try to find the mistake ?

Only if log_errors is ON, error_log has been setup, and error_reporting has been setup.

 

All of these settings must be set before your script is requested in order to display fatal parse errors.

 

You should be developing and debugging php code on a local development system anyway, at least past the point where you are experiencing fatal errors.

Hmm its first time ive had a white screen as opposed to a error being displayed in over a year.  I'l have to investigate.
