why browser never show error

[angelsRock]

hi.. how do i show the php error in which line in my IE7 ?

i had unchecked the "show friendly HTTP error msg"

but it just show me the error .. e.g unknown column 'myid'.. never tell me which line...

PHP and MySQL are serverside, however, 'unknown column' is a mysql error, check all your column names, your asking for something which isn't there!

It's because it is a MySQL error, so your not going to get a line number. That is why it is useful to do something like this when performing queries.

 

<?php

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result = mysql_query($query)or die("Error:".mysql_error(). "With query" . $query);

?>

ohh..so fast reply.. sorry..!! that is just the example... if i din put the " ; " or some syntax error ..!! it won show the line mistake as well..

Not that i've tried it but this look's like it'll show more about php error's:

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ohh?? i try to put that in my script.. but same ..blank whole page..

i thought the browser should have the function of displaying the error in which line>??? i can display the error line in asp... but why cant in php??

Don't quote me on this, yet, a lot of error's do show, however syntax errors trip it out, therefore check for syntax errors (in my experience look for lines without ';' endings).
