how can I display errors in codeigniter?

Question

i don't seem to be able to show errors in codeigniter. I've changed the Index.php file to development and also added error reporting and display errors like this

define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');    
switch (ENVIRONMENT)
{
case 'development':
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set(‘display_errors’,1);
break;
//....

with this setup I would expect to get errors when, for example, i try to load a model which doesn't exist, or there is a typo in my code or any other error. but all i get is a blank page...

What happens if you add die('test'); into the development case? — Jeroen

I've noticed that the QUOTATION MARKS surrounding display_errors in the ini_set instruction were smart quotation marks. I've changed them to double quotes (") and it now seems to work. Weird!! — Patrick

Always use the ' quotation marks when you're not parsing the string though. Saves you a very small amount of performance. — Jeroen

Can't you enable error reporting in php.ini?
