No error appears in PHP

Question

I am making a very simple code in PHP and inserting an error on purpose, when I update my browser the result that appears to me is just a blank page, I would like an error to appear with the cause and the line of error.

Obs: use Ubuntu 18.04

Place these two lines at the beginning of your code that will make PHP report and show ALL the errors and warnings:

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); // mesmo resultado de: error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

If you want your entire environment to display such errors and warnings, change these same directives in the PHP configuration (file php.ini) and restart the HTTP server (Apache/IIS/Nginx/etc).

Example of configuration of error_reporting:

Obs.: lines started by semicolon ; are comments. Configuration is by line:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

Options are available in the documentation.

More details, see documentation:

PHP: error_reporting

PHP: display_errors

PHP: ini_set
