Thanks for the tip! Before trying this out, I ran down another hint
that a friend had suggested, and turns out, that lead me to the
answer.
Which means I can now publically say that I goofed :)
What happened is this: in my core.php file, I had turned off
debugging, using the Configure::write('debug', 0). Turns out, this
turns off all debugging info, including PHP error reporting (it
executes error_reporting(0); ). Thinking about it, this is convenient
and good, but not something I realized.
In my controller file, in the method that was going to be invoked, I
put in the Configure::write('debug', 2); to turn debugging back on. A
little goofy, perhaps, but it seemed reasonable. Since it had been a
month since I last looked at my code, I'd forgotten about turning off
the debugging at the global level, and since I was seeing the command
to turn the debugging on in that method, it didn't occur to me to
check for the global setting.
So what happened is this: the app starts up, core.php turns off
error_reporting, there's a syntax error in my controller, but never
gets reported because the syntax error causes the page to stop being
executed before it gets to the command to turn the debugging back on.
*sigh*
Anyways, it's fixed, and things are looking better.
Is there a way to request that the 'no error reporting when debugging
is off' this be added to the documentation? This was definitely my
mistake, but it might help clarify things for others. Plus, if we
have the error_reporting keyword in there, Google might index it for
future searches, so it might be easier to find later b/c of that. If
not, that's fine, too.
Thanks!
