error_reporting(E_ALL) does not produce error

Question

This is my php script-

 \' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
?>

Which obviously should

Answer 1

In your php.ini file check for display_errors. I think it is off.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

Answer 2

That error is a parse error. The parser is throwing it while going through the code, trying to understand it. No code is being executed yet in the parsing stage. Because of that it hasn't yet executed the error_reporting line, therefore the error reporting settings aren't changed yet.

You cannot change error reporting settings (or really, do anything) in a file with syntax errors.

Answer 3

you can try to put this in your php.ini:

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

In php.ini file also you can set error_reporting();

Answer 4

Your file has syntax error, so your file was not interpreted, so settings was not changed and you have blank page.

You can separate your file to two.

index.php

<?php
ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include 'error.php';

error.php

<?
echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
