Finding parse errors.... - El Forum - 01-07-2010

Normally when I use PHP if there is a parse error it tells me what line its on, gives me a clue at least. If there is a parse error in my controller (which there is) it just shows a blank page. My controller file is extensive and I have no idea where the error is. I'm sure there is an obvious way around this but I can't find it.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Did you turn on error reporting?

You mean this?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
I have that at the top of my conroller.php file.

Hmmm usually when you get a blank page it's either that error reporting is set to off, or there is an issue with the database. Do you have the database autoloaded?

I stated a scenario in my initial post because that is the case sometimes. However in the case I know where the parse error is (missing ; ) I can fix this and the page displays, I take it out and I get the blank page. Database seems to work just fine either way. Error reporting could very well be set to off. How do I check/change this?

Change line 12 in your index.php:
Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set(‘display_errors’, ‘1’);Finding parse errors.... - El Forum - 01-07-2010

I just had it in the wrong place. Thanks a million!

BTW you might want to use STRICT mode if you are using PHP5
Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
