[FX.php List] PHP FX neophytes needs help

Fri Jul 21 13:18:05 MDT 2006

A blank page could  mean that there is an error but you have errors  
turned off.  You can try a couple of things to get error output.

1.  add the line
<? error_reporting(E_ALL); ?>
to the top of your script.  This will turn on error reporting so  
hopefully your errors will be displayed.  If you have a syntax error  
then this line may not get executed.  In that case you would have to  
check your error log.

Your error log may be in different places on different operating  
systems but a common place is /var/log/httpd/error_log

When you find it just look at the end:

e.g. tail error_log

Hope this helps a little.

Best regards
