where are my errors?

[David T-G]

Hi, all --

My partner and I have done something that gets rid of our error messages,
and we're not quite sure what. The identical code base (I copied it over
myself; I'm sure) worked "fine" on another supposedly-identical RH Linux
machine.

The basic stub for our code looks like

$ENGINE_VER="dev" ;
require "include/config.php" ;
require "$ENGINE_PATH/file-to-include.php" ;

where 'file-to-include' is whatever we really want (in this case it is
'survey').

If I put a simple typo like

printt "oops" ;

into the ENGINE_PATH copy I nonetheless do not get any error message.
Now, if I put that into the stub even as the last line I *do* get an
error message, so they are not *entirely* gone.

If I do not require 'include/config.php' and instead manually define
the ENGINE_PATH then I see the error no matter where it is placed.

What kind of call would suppress error messages from a require()d file?
I don't know his codebase, and he's never seen anything like this before,


TIA & HAND

is display_errors ON for one machine and OFF for the other?

Not sure how to tell; remember that I get errors when I don't include his
config.

Does that show up in phpinfo() output?


Thanks & TIA & HAND

Well, apparently so, and apparently it is. I specifically called phpinfo()
from the require()d file to make sure I'd pick up the value at the time
rather than just what's in php.ini and it seems that's not what we've
tanked.

yeah you can get it from phpinfo() or use ini_get('display_errors')


HTH,

Now that I've confirmed that display_errors is on (1), are there any
other ideas?
