Can't enable display_errors on local server.

[BenSeagrave]

I'm trying to enable display_errors on my mamp local server. I've looked on google etc for answers and can't find nothing that helps.

I open the php.ini file and change display_errors to On, I'm 100% opening the correct file and using the correct syntax (display_errors = On) and the line is not commented out.

I've installed a fresh copy of mamp and am using the latest version of php that it comes with. I am also editing the php.ini for the correct php version I'm using.

After i've changed the file and saved it, all I get is a server error not a php error and the phpinfo file says that display_errors is Off. I've tried changing the display_errors inside the php file i'm opening as well which didn't work also.

Any suggestions?

Are you making sure to enable it in all PHP.ini files? I have seen cases where there are multiple (ie: php4.ini php5.ini) Check all of them
