Re: [PHP4BETA] Dont you love those error messages? :)

You don't have your error reporting set high enough. Note the difference between PHP 4.0 and 3.0 - in 3.0, the script up until the point where the function is redefined would get executed; In 4.0, since compilation is performed, the error will be generated right away, and before a single line is executed! Yes, that means you can't use error_reporting() to set the error reporting to a higher level if the error is a compile time error, since the error will occur before error_reporting() gets called. You must use .htaccess or equivalent to set the error reporting to show E_COMPILE_ERROR. Zeev At 17:11 04/08/99 , Sander Pilon wrote:

Okay, The initial reason for getting the latest CVS was an error where a script wouldnt include another script. The page just stayed blank. The new recompile didnt solve the problem, but I did find what caused it. If an already declared function is declared again, no error message is generated. A little script to demonstrate: <script language="php">

        function        foo()
        {
                echo "hello";
        }

        function        foo()
        {
                echo "hello";
        }

        echo "check!";

</script> Should output an error, but instead the page stays blank. *POOF* 4 hours down the drain :) Sander -- PHP 4 Beta
