Blank pages thrown out by PHP are often error conditions when error messages are suppressed.

Create a new file and add the following to it

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If that works, modify your blacnk page producing code to have

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

among the first thing it does. If this shows your errors, you can set the appropriate settings in php.ini and restart apache.

Unless set up differently error_log and access_log can usually be found under one of /var/log, /var/log/apache2, /var/log/httpd depending on the distro
