I'm just wondering if your error reporting in php.ini is turned off. I had problems before where php was throwing an error message, but I had no error message displayed, because I had set error_reporting to 0;
Even so, i don't think the output from phpinfo() would be affected by the error_reporting level. what does the following look like in your php.ini? ;Show all errors and warnings, including php coding ;suggestions error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
