obtain errors from PHP execution

Question

in the same folder I have:
php.ini

display_errors  = "stdout"     ; Also tryed: "STDOUT"  0  and  1

this info from phpinfo()

PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
display_errors      Off     Off  ;never changes no matter what I put in php.ini
error_reporting   22527   22527

and this test.php script

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "start test<br>";
typoErr();
echo "never here<br>";
?>

I have tested alternatives and I cant find the way to see errors on the browser.

did you restart your web server (probably apache httpd) after changing php.ini? — davogotland

probabily you're editing the wrong php.ini try use ini_set('display_errors', 1); at the very beginning of test.php it should overwrite your ini configs.

great, I can see the error in this way. but I am wondering: witch is the "correct" php.ini I put a copy of it on the document_root (the parent folder of my test folder) but nothing changes, I cant obtain the error.

You can also add

php_flag display_errors on

To apache's sites-available or htacess

Just remember to restart apache

Taken from the comments:

You can not assume, that the interpreter will just use any php.ini. Look at the output of phpinfo(). Somewhere at the beginning there is noted, which php.ini you must use. Remember to restart the webserver after every change and that the cli-interpreter usually takes another php.ini than the interpreter used by the webserver (php -i is the cli equivalent of phpinfo())..

thanks, all this configurations bring to the light Configuration File (php.ini) Path Loaded Configuration File Scan this dir for additional .ini files Additional .ini files parsed none of my edited php.ini(s) were on this pointed paths

Thats the point: You just edit the wrong one(s) ;) You can edit the file specified by Loaded Configuration File, or you put an own *.ini-file into Scan this dir for additional .ini files.
