new install, trying to display error message

[Shazbot!]

I just install PHP 5 on WinXP IIS (ISAPI)

So far everything is working fine with the exception of the error handling.

 

in the php.ini file I have the following set.

display_errors = On

 

and I have tried:

error_reporting = E_ALL

error_reporting = E_ALL & E_NOTICE

 

restarted services each time but to no avail.

 

In my test file I have

<?

echo "this is an error"

?>

 

Please help.

 

oh and the phpinfo file says the the display_error is 'ON' in both Local and Master

and the error reproting is 6135

php.ini is located in the C:\Windows dir.

Assuming that short open tags are on, your test code does not contain any php error. Semi-colons are not required on the last line before a closing ?> tag (but you should always use them so that you don't forget when you add code after any line that does not have one.)

ahh, that you for that. I forgot about that. I tried a different type of error and it worked.
