Another "error reporting not working in PHP" post

Question

All I get is a blank page. And, yes, I did read the dozens of similar questions asked.

I want this change to apply to all my scripts, so I went into php.ini. According to phpinfo(), it is located in /etc. So, I went there, and turned error_reporting = E_ALL and error_display = On. Still blank.

Its very frustrating, so I came here. What am I doing wrong? It is PHP5, Apache 2.2.17.

try using error_reporting(E_ALL) (eventually, E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE) in the first line of your php bootstrap file — ArtoAle, Oct 21 '11 at 23:27
Have you checked to make sure your page is getting parsed (right-click, view source)? Also, if the site is hosted, have you checked to make sure your host will let you change this setting? — Jared Farrish, Oct 21 '11 at 23:27

The ini-setting is called display_errors not error_display

Additionally when using php and having multiple sites on the same host, you can copy the php.ini file into your sub sites and modify it specifically for those sites.

Many times it will not default to the root "public_html" php.ini file and you will need to copy this file in.
