Can anyone recommend a debugger.
Typing all this code only to get a blank browser window is annoying as hell.

This is a setting that is maintained by the php.ini file. Your web hosting company must have it setup to not display any errors (agreed it is annoying!!!)

You need to edit your php.ini (find out how from your hosting provider)

What you need to change is display_errors....your configuration probably looks like so:

display_errors = Off

Change to

display_errors = On

I found this fix but it seems to be switched on already. Instead I am writing code in pieces, until it all works.
