error_display function

[taono]

I used ini_set( 'error_display", 1); & error_reporting ( E-ALL | E-STRICT); to enable php error report. It doesn't work. Then I tried to enable error report through editing php.ini file, but I couldn't find it. Ullman's book chapter 3 & appendix A: installation and configuration has a section about PHP configuration but it's not clear (can't find php.ini. file). Help is needed to enable error report. Thanks!

How to find php.ini file

• Make the phpinfo.php script from Ullmans book. I forget what chapter it is in. But, using the php documentation below will give you the same solution. Code below is from the php documentation

<?php

// Option1: Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Option2: Shows The configuration line, php.ini location, build date, 
// Web Server, System and more.
phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL);

?>

• Run the above script and look for the ouput that shows where the php.ini file is. When running the above choose option1 or 2 do not run both.
• Note: The php.ini is where all your custom configuration of PHP on your machine goes. So, we need to get used to using and modifying this file.
• Configure php.ini file to do error reporting according to how the books says to set it.

Todo Let's add a phpinfo.php script to the simplephp project. This will allow us to conveniently run the script and see our php configs as needed. Put in: /simplephp/skeleton
