PHP won't show any errors

Here is my code:

echo 'foo';

error_reporting(E_ALL);

echo 'this line doesnt end in a semi colon'

echo 'i should get an error here';

When I run this I get no error.

Not sure how this can be?

Solution 
  • ini_set('display_errors', 1);

    Do note though that if you do this in the file that has the syntax error, it won't work, as it'll never get executed then. You can also set this true in php.ini (not recommended for production servers), or if you use Apache, in .htaccess with:

    php_flag display_errors 1
