newbie question: displaying line numbers of errors

[myatia]

Whenever there's an error in my code, all I get is a blank page. How do I get a message to display that tells me the line number of the error and a description of it? I'm running PHP and Apache. Let me know if I need to give more info.

Thanks,

Misty

First, take a look at your php.ini setting for error_reporting. "E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE" is a good setting. If you change the setting, remember to restart Apache.

Second, make sure you aren't useing the "@" error-supression operator (

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php)

when you invoke functions.

In addition to sleipnir214, check out in php.ini for "display_errors = On". When it is "off", errors are not showed (and should be loged to a error_log file when "log_errors=on&quot.

Hope this help you.

I made the changes both of you suggested and the line numbers are showing up. Thanks for your help.
