No error ouput to page on parse error in PHP (IIS 6)
I have a very basic installation of PHP running on a windows 2003 server runing the latest version of IIS 6. I followed one of the readily available installation guides and it has been working quite well. The only problem is that when a parse error occurs the error is not sent to the web browser. I am assume it is logged somewhere, but that does not do me too much good. How can I enable error output to the broswer?
On an error the browser window is blank containing only very basic HTML code (must be the default for IIS or something):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HE
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Any thoughts?

by the way if you make changes to you php.ini file you will have to restart IIS for the changes to take effect.
Also, look for code with @ in front ...
<?php
$fp = fopen('I don't exist and will cause an error','r);
?>
will cause an error, but ...
<?php
$fp = @fopen('I don't exist and will cause an error','r);
?>
will not.
Normally, the above line would look like ...
<?php
$fp = @fopen('I don't exist and will cause an error','r) or die('Could not open the non existant file.');
