UPDATE 2:
I have now removed the following from the .php file:
<?php error_reporting( E_ALL ); ?>
I have set display_erros in php.ini as follows:
display_errors = On
Error reporting is set to the following in php.ini
:
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
After restarting Apache, I still get no errors/warnings.
UPDATE 1:
I have changed error_reporting in php.ini
from:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
to
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
After which I restarted Apache, e.g.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
But the page will still not display errors/warnings of any kind.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
The following script is generating a warning because the $err being inside the if statement. Why is this warning not being displayed on the PHP page in a web browser?
I have to look at the Apache logs to see the warning. Also, if I deliberately change the "insert into" to "delete into", it does not display an error on the PHP page. Why are the errors not displaying on the actual PHP page?

display_errors
INI setting?error_reporting
setting because it is in the script.display_errors
is entirely different fromerror_reporting
. Also, your script overrides theerror_reporting
value set in the INI file.
