Enable errors in browser when parsing PHP-files

I recently changed to a MacBook and now use the MAMP-stack for development locally.

In my earlier development environment I always could see informative error-reports when I tried to access a PHP file through a web-browser and an error occurred. With the default installation of MAMP it seems that this feature is disabled, whenever I hit an error I can't see the cause of it, I can't even see a single line informing me that an error occurred.

Not until I start to debug the code in a debugger I can see where the error occurred.

Any idea how error reporting can be turned on?

I tried:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

No effect at all though.

Solution

  • reporting level to E_ALL and display errors on Include the following code at the top of every php file on in an include or require such as your config.php

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
