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?

If you omit the semicolon at the end of a line, PHP attempts to join it with the next line into one statement. Sometimes, by coincidence, this results in a legal statement. To show the error message, enter two statements that you're sure will combine into invalid syntax, such as:

        $x = 4
        $y = 3;

Their concatenation results in:

        $x = 4 $y = 3;

which should get you "parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE." Paul
