@NogDogJan 13.2010 — #You can download and install Wampserver (windows) or XAMPP (most platforms) to install PHP, Apache, and MySQL on your PC so that you can test locally. For testing you can then turn on display_errors in your php.ini file so that all errors (including parse errors) are displayed. (You'll probably also want to set error_reporting to E_ALL.)
Additionally, if you use any of the several available text editors or IDE's which include built-in PHP syntax checking, you can avoid a lot of simple errors before ever trying to run your script. (Komodo Edit, NetBeans, Notepad++, etc.) @NogDogJan 13.2010 — #
After installing Wampserver, you can use[url=http://www.wampserver.com/en/add-ons.php]this page[/url] to download and install specific versions of PHP, MySQL, etc. to best match what is on your production server. (You can actually install multiple versions, then select which ones you want to use at any given time.)
debugging PHP
I am doing some stuff for my boss using PHP and I am having a little bit of trouble because when I upload something to the server with something wrong it just goes white. I was wondering if there is a way to step through the php so that I can work on this. Our site is hosted at IPOWER so I do not have a WebServer on Site. If I can get this to work I will absolutely love PHP until then I hate it because everything keeps dying…
Thanks a lot!
