PHP not displaying any errors

Question

I know this has been asked multiple times in the past but none of the solutions worked for me.

This is my PHP code:

<?php
  function
?>

This should produce an error. However, it's just returning a 500 error and not loading.

I tried less severe error producing code like this:

<?php
  $test = $example;
?>

Calling on an undefined variable produced an error on a different computer.

In my php.ini, I have display_errors = On, display_startup_errors = On, and error_reporting = E_ALL.

Edit Thanks to aspiringCodingArtisan's suggestion, I realized I was editing the wrong php.ini file. Problem solved.

If you check in your server logs, you'll see the error in detail there. — elclanrs

Is your error-producing function in your code, intentional in order to see the errors? And have you tried error_reporting(E_ALL); having E_ALL inside parentheses instead of error_reporting = E_ALL and ini_set('display_errors',1); ? — Funk Forty Niner

@Fred-ii- That's in their php.ini file so the prop = value syntax is correct — Phil

@Phil Ok, I thought that in not having E_ALL without parentheses would be invalid. — Funk Forty Niner

Are you looking at the correct php.ini file? If you have something like MAMP you will find that it has multiple versions of PHP. — kaizenCoder
