Hi Alex,
You will get a lot of information if you go to your browser and in the address 
bar, type http://www.php.net/display_errors. When you get to that page, pay 
attention to display_errors, error_reporting, and the predefined constants for 
controlling how errors are displayed

You can also get all the information about your environment if you write a PHP 
script and as the only statement, put this.
Phpinfo();

Subject: debugging php?

Hi all,
I am doing php for a databases class. When I run it, I get an http 500
error, but no errors from my actual code. I tried a simple "echo test"
to make sure php is working and it ran fine, so it has to be something
in my code. I thought php would print any errors to the webpage when
it was displayed (show_errors is on)? Why am I getting this generic
error page instead? More to the point, is there a simple way to debug
without using an ide?
