PHP showing errors despite php.ini forbid it

we have forbidden to show errors on our server. But I'd need to show the errors in my script despite it.

I tried this:

<?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set("display_errors", "on");
    echo "chyba"
    echo "nazdárek";
?>

But it is not useful. Thank you for your help.

Your call to error_reporting() doesn't do anything because it does not run.

There is a missing ; after the first echo. I know you know about it, you made the mistake on purpose, to show that error_reporting() doesn't do what you expect it to do.

It doesn't work this way. The missing semicolumn is a syntax error. The script does not compile, so it does not run. Your call to error_reporting() is not executed and that means the value of the error_reporting configuration directive is the one that decides what errors are reported.

You have to fix the syntax errors first, make the script compile & run, and only after that try to trigger a runtime error and see if it is reported back to you. I bet it is.

A runtime error or warning is easy to generate. Try a division by zero, for example.

What you're trying to produce there is a syntax error. This won't work within the same file that you're setting error reporting. The file first needs to be parsed in its entirety. If there's a syntax error in the file, then none of its code will be executed, so no error reporting will be switched on.
