Is your server configured to display errors? Try adding this at the top of your script: ini_set('display_errors',true); It won't catch syntax errors, but it should help. Also, try adding this to the top of your script: echo 'test'; If you still get a blank page, then it's probably not a problem with your actual script. Maybe your configuration.
