Blank page on loading of php file

Question

When I go to load this in the browser, nothing is displayed. If I comment out the last line it works fine. I thought that if the last line was causing some type of error it would be reported, rather than nothing happening.

<?php ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL); echo "hello" $xml = simplexml_load_file(dirname(__FILE__).'/svn_log.xml') ?>

Missing two ending/closing semi-colons. The one for echo "hello" is the most important one. — Funk Forty Niner

if you had error checking and display ON you would see the error and not a blank page. — user557846

It's good practice to finish all lines with semi-colons.

<?php ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL); echo "hello"; $xml = simplexml_load_file(dirname(__FILE__).'/svn_log.xml'); ?>
