Re: Trapping and masking errors

Yeah, I did look at the manual page, that was how I got the error_log() function working. What I couldn't work out though was how to get the php errors into the log. At the moment I use the error_log() to log some of my scripts variables to an error.txt file. I also couldn't see a way of preventing the php errors from appearing in the broswer window. I'll take a look at the ob_start and ob_end_clean though,thanks. -torrent "Yasuo Ohgaki" <yasuo_ohgaki@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:3C0B2289.70005@yahoo.com... > Torrentuk wrote: > > > Hi, > > I have written a simple form emailer for my site.
