I want PHP to display parse errors on screen. What I get instead is a blank page. Nothing gets written to server's error log file.

My setup: PHP5.2.9/IIS 6 (not Apache!).

My PHP.INI:

error_reporting=E_STRICT
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On
error_log = "C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\logs\php_error.log"

How do I get parse or fatal errors to be either logged or shown on screen?

Thanks, Temuri

UPDATE: After playing with different switches it looks to be an IIS specific problem. ANY IDEAS FOLKS?

Setting error level in php file itself does not resolve the problem here because the file itself cannot be parsed !!

You need to change error_reporting line in your php.ini as follows:

error_reporting = E_ALL

BTW: There are some examples in php.ini file about what to do to display which type of error messages.

Good luck,
