php - error_reporting(E_ALL) does not produce error

Question

This is my php script-

<?php
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
?>

Which obviously should show something if it were to be executed.

All I see is an empty page. Why is error_reporting(E_ALL) not working?

<?php
  ini_set("display_errors", "1");
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
?>

Does not help either. All I get is an empty page.

I've been to php.ini and set display_errors = On and display_startup_errors = On. Nothing happens.

Answer 1

Your file has syntax error, so your file was not interpreted, so settings was not changed and you have blank page.

You can separate your file to two.

index.php

<?php
ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include 'error.php';

error.php

<?
echo('catch this -> ' ;. $thisdoesnotexist);
