PHP errors are not shown

Question

I've got an PHP file with an error in it, but I don't know where it is and there is no error reporting, but I enabled error reporting in php.ini and in the script.

Why can't I see the error?

Did you reboot your web-server? Try to run script from shell php also — Vitalii Zurian

Check display_errors ini setting too, alongside of error_reporting. — complex857

If it's a syntax error, then php -l <filename>.php from the command line should tell you where the error is — Mark Baker

If it's a parsing error, then using ini_set() or error_reporting() won't help. Configure your php.ini or .user.ini or via .htaccess parameters. — mario

Make the first four lines of your page look like this:

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

This will override your error echoing settings elsewhere so you can track down your problem. And of course, don't forget to do a phpinfo(); if you suspect there's a missing or misconfigured dependency.

Try enabling errors in PHP:

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

If you still don't see anything and you are using Linux and Apache try looking into /var/log/apache2/error.log you can see the live log tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
