RE: [PHP-DEV] error handling

The problem with this is that the 500 error does not provide any information about the error. Which for me is a bad thing. Now that I think about it i am seeing some light... I do like the idea of somehow passing a string to it. With cgi, it makes me mad because i have to got and check the logs...(development stage). However, in production i like the idea of apache throwing the 500 instead of a blank page... I guess i am straddling the fence here...
