PHP does not show any errors

Question

I have this code which should of course throw a few errors. But no errors are displayed at all, it just loads a blank page. I read PHP not displaying errors even though display_errors = On but it did not help.

<?php
    ini_set('display_errors', 1);
    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    echo $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] sdfga
?>

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

display_errors = On
;   Default Value: On
;   Development Value: On
;   Production Value: Off

error_reporting = E_ALL
;   Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED
;   Development Value: E_ALL
;   Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

I also set the same settings in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. Of course I restarted Apache after I changed the php.ini. What else can I try?

check phpinfo() and make sure those are the proper .ini files. and check for php_value directives in .htaccess files, other apache .conf files, which can override the .ini settings. — Marc B

There are multiple .htaccess files, how can i find out which is the right one? It found: ./usr/share/doc/debian-reference-common/html/.htaccess ./usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib/.htaccess ./usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/frames/.htaccess ./usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/.htaccess — Black

@Paladin76 PHP documentation states Although display_errors may be set at runtime (with ini_set()), it won't have any effect if the script has fatal errors. This is because the desired runtime action does not get executed. (which is fairly obvious), so the in-script settings wont apply here anyways. And nope, the numeric 1 is correct here. — syck

The .htaccess in your files' directory should contain two lines: php_value display_errors = On and php_value error_reporting = E_ALL. Could you try that? — syck

I solved it, the problem was that there is another "display_errors" somewhere on the bottom of the php.ini, which set display_errors = Off, so changing the first occurence of "display_errors" CAN'T work. Either set this display_errors to On or delete the line. I am wondering why the original creators of php.ini set this trap.
