debugging - How to get useful error messages in PHP? -


i find programming in php quite frustrating. quite try , run script , blank screen back. no error message, empty screen. cause might have been simple syntax error (wrong bracket, missing semicolon), or failed function call, or else entirely.

it difficult figure out went wrong. end commenting out code, entering "echo" statements everywhere, etc. trying narrow down problem. there surely must better way, right?.

so, there way php produce useful error message java does? can recommend php debugging tips, tools , techniques?

for syntax errors, need enable error display in php.ini. default these turned off because don't want "customer" seeing error messages. check page in php documentation information on 2 directives: error_reporting , display_errors. display_errors 1 want change. if can't modify php.ini, can add following lines .htaccess file:

php_flag  display_errors        on php_value error_reporting       2039

you may want consider using value of e_all (as mentioned gumbo) version of php error_reporting of errors. more info

3 other items: (1) can check error log file have of errors (unless logging has been disabled). (2) adding following 2 lines debug errors not syntax errors:

error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

(3) option use editor checks errors when type, such phped. phped comes debugger can provide more detailed information. (the phped debugger similar xdebug , integrates directly editor use 1 program everything.)

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
