PHP command line run does not show errors

Question

If I run this program on Centos as "php file.php" it shows no output but php -l shows it has errors(; after EOT missing). How do I enable error reporting in this case?

<?php

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
$str = $_POST['name'];

file_put_contents("out.txt",$str);

print  <<<EOT
<html><body><h1>You've entered $str</h1></body></html>
EOT

I've gone through: How can I get useful error messages in PHP?

If a script has syntax errors, then it cannot be executed; so setting display_errors is meaningless as it can't be executed... you should actually get a parse error displayed when trying to run it — Mark Baker

To override display_errors=Off in php.ini, add a -d flag to the command line:

php -d display_errors=on  script.php

Or just edit the ini and turn the flag on.

Yes now it shows but haven't I already added in the PHP code? I've also tried ini_set('display_errors','On'); in the code.

@AgA: As Mark explained, php doesn't even run your code. It encounters a parse error and stops.

So you mean -d display_errors=on should be used when running on command line?

@AgA: I'd simply edit the ini file, but if you can't, then yes, adding -d is the only option.

Ttaht option "-d display_errors=on" Does not work for me!

Try to set error_reporting to E_ALL instead of -1, this did the trick for me.

Execute:

php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

And set display_startup_errors and display_errors in this file.
