PHP display_errors

[KeithHunt]

Verified the version of PHP that I am using in MAMP, which is 7.2.10.  Chose the corresponding php.ini doc.  Searched for display_errors and found that it was off.  changed to on.  Saved doc.  turned off Apache server.  Closed MAMP.  Restarted MAMP and server.  Reloaded the php doc for this lesson ch4-lesson-1.php.  Still not showing the errors?!.  What am I doing wrong?

Found a work around on Stackify by pasting in the following code into the PHP doc:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

This works, but only on a doc by doc basis.

Hmmm ... Sounds like a MAMP specific setting issue. Worst case, you can put that code into a separate file, and use PHP includes to include it.

Do you think it would help to uninstall, then reinstall MAMP?  Should I maybe switch to using WAMP, or one of the other servers?  Are any of them beginner friendly?

 

(Yeah...guess, using PHP includes would be good practice. LOL.)
