Question

I’m new to PHP, started with Code Igniter and MAMP. I start the server from the MAMP application, and write PHP in the text editor.

When errors occur in the code, the page doesn’t display anything! Is there anyway to see the errors on console? or PHP just doesn’t show errors?

I’m used to Eclipses console when developing Java, is there anything similar?

Answer 1

Error Reporting

---

In your code add :

 error_reporting(E_ALL);
 // I don't know if you need to wrap the 1 inside of double quotes.
 ini_set("display_startup_errors",1);
 ini_set("display_errors",1);

or you can do it from your php.ini file.
