A blank screen is a sure indication of an error, and as you've seen, 
ini_set('display_errors', '1') alone isn't enough to force errors to 
show on the screen. You can add the following to also set the level of 
errors to show, as that might be set to something different on the 
server in the php.ini, which is why you're not seeing what you expect on 
screen, although it's not advised to have them shown on a production 
server for security reasons:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

You should have access to the error logs on your hosting though. The 
exact location can be determined from a phpinfo() call, but if you're 
struggling accessing them, you should ask the hosting company, as logs 
are something you need always.
