Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. For whatever reason when I click on update.php (home/administer/site building/modules) all that comes up is a blank screen. Not sure why this is and am at a loss as to how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

You're probably getting a php
You're probably getting a php error, but have display_errors set to 'off' in your php.ini. Set it to 'on', restart apache, and see what error you're getting.
Either that or you're exiting prematurely.

Logging
PHP errors should also be logged somewhere. The Apache config would tell you where, or you might be able to access it through the hosting control panel (if applicable).

Yes, I went to home/administer/reports/status report. Database updates is flagged as out of date but when I click on database update script I wind up with the same blank page.
I don't know what would have caused this all of a sudden and am truly at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it.
Different log
That's the Drupal log, which may not contain everything (it can only catch what actually runs in PHP).
If you have a syntax error, etc. then it will only get printed to the screen (if enabled) or logged to the Apache log (location is set in httpd.conf normally).

You can create a file with a
You can create a file with a phpinfo() call. That will tell you what the active php.ini is. You may just have some local overrides in php5.ini, in which case you can add
display_errors = On
to php5.ini or you can add
ini_set('display_errors','On');
to the top of update.php.
Likewise, you could add error logging as well.
I'm just not sure if php5.ini is a local override or leftover from an install.

I'm not too savvy with this
I'm not too savvy with this so if you could please give me some guidance as to how to do this I would so appreciate it.
<? php phpinfo(); ?> save as
<? php phpinfo(); ?>
save as file.php and run.
You should get a screen full of information about your php installation.
You're looking for the row that starts with
"Loaded Configuration File "
That will tell you which php.ini file is really being loaded.
or at the top of update.php you can add
<?php
// $Id: update.php,v 1.252.2.3 2009/03/30 11:15:11 goba Exp $
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
< html > < body > <?php
< html >
< body >
<?phpphpinfo();
?>
< /body >
< /html >
without the html being stripped.
Honestly, this is beyond me.
Honestly, this is beyond me. I don't even know where to begin with your suggestions, I do appreciate them though. I am a newbie to all of this. All I know is I can't update php, lol and don't know how to fix it.
Hosting supprt
Have you asked for help from your hosting provider?
talked to hosting and of
talked to hosting and of course the person I talked with had no idea about Drupal, no help whatsoever. What I did manage to glean from the conversation is that I am missing php.ini file. Where it should be I'm not quite sure and I am at a loss as to where it went, My question I guess is how can I get it back? Currently running drupal 6.20.
location of php.ini
If you use Control Panel, look for something called "Php Config". You can use that to set up the file. It will be located in the root web directory (e.g. public_html). Use your CPanel File Manager to navigate to that file (or whatever method you use) and you can edit it.
