  1. POPhp error not displaying
    text
    copied!<p>I've been having significant problems attempting to link to a MySQL database using PHP. The php script just crashes without echoing any error messages. </p> <p>In order to track down the error I've whittled down the code. It crashes even for something as trivial as a simple assignment operation!</p> <p>the code </p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt; &lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; Testing&lt;br /&gt; &lt;?php echo("hello") $hostname_testserver = "stringvar"; echo(" no1 ") ?&gt; Testing &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Displays nada: absolutely no source code whatsoever. Blank screen, no browser error message; nothing.</p> <p>What makes this so peculiar is that I know that I have successfully managed to get php scripts working on this server... using exactly this assignment. </p> <p>So naturally something more complicated like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /*** mysql hostname ***/ $hostname = 'HOST'; /*** mysql username ***/ $username = 'NAME'; /*** mysql password ***/ $password = 'PASSWORD'; try { $dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=DATABASE", $username, $password); /*** echo a message saying we have connected ***/ echo 'Successfully connected with database&lt;br /&gt;'; /*** INSERT data ***/ $count = $dbh-&gt;exec($insertion); /*** echo the number of affected rows ***/ echo $count; catch(PDOException $e) { echo $e-&gt;getMessage(); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Doesn't even get off the ground >&lt;</p>
