Fix your error reporting. On a development machine it must be set to

Then you would have seen immediately what's wrong.

Of course on the production server errors should not be shown, but
written to a logfile instead.

eg. (it could be that you are not allowed to use ini_set)

Correct, but on your own dev machine using the php.ini is usually better
for a simple reason: if display_errors() should be off in the php.ini,
then using ini_set() won't help much in case of parse errors.

<?php
if(DEBUG === true) {
ini_set('error_reporting',8191); // E_ALL & E_STRICT
ini_set('display_errors',true);
}
else {
ini_set('error_reporting',8191); // E_ALL & E_STRICT
ini_set('display_errors',false);
ini_set('log_errors',true);
ini_set('log_errors_max_len',"10M");
ini_set('error_log','/error/error.file');
}
?>

The second part is what I usually do, on my local server as well as on
the production server. I always write to a logfile (on my Linux box it's
just a named pipe with a simple listening script on the other end, which
immediately prints out all the data it receives), but with different log
levels: LOG_INFO or even LOG_DEBUG on my local box, LOG_WARNING on the
production server.
