Can't get PHP to report errors

[baller01]

I can't see any PHP errors. I have tried every trick I can find to turn error reporting on, but nothing works.display_errors is on and error_logging is on, but when I view any page with an error, I get a blank page. /var/log/php.log does not exist.if I set a local logfile, Nothing gets created.The file I have been testing with is\[code\]<?phpini_set('display_errors',1);error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);ini_set('error_log','script_errors.log');ini_set('log_errors','On');$a=phpinfo();?>\[/code\]any other ideas?
