[chainprayer]

anyone else ever have any problems using php with godaddy? i have a simple php script set up to connect to my sql database. when there is an error in the code it returns a blank page instead of an error with a reference to the error line. anyone else have this happening?

If GoDaddy doesn't give you access to the PHP error log file then you can try to catch the errors using try..catch and/or die statements.

A blank page usually means a "fatal" error such as a typo in a function name, missing ; on the end, syntax error as the script is intepreted.

You can trap (PHP4:most, PHP5: almost all) errors with set_error_handler() callback function but be sure to read the exceptions and notes on this page (http://us3.php.net/set-error-handler) at php.net.

You could post some of your code and maybe we could help you.

I second this. Check that all lines of codes end with ; and that all comments are probably commented.

When I can't find the problem, I will comment out sections of the code until the PHP file runs, then I can narrow down the problem.
