hi, I omitted a semicolon ; at the end of a php statement on purpose to see what the error looks like. I ran the script and a blank page just came out.No error message. I then edited php.ini and set Display_errors = On and errror_reporting = E_ALL then restarted httpd. Ran the script again and the same thing happens. My question is:- how do I make php to show me a simple error like omitting a semicolon?
