It turned out that PEAR DB.inc was loading and using the nifty PEAR error handling package, which was turning off error_reporting, over-riding my customer error_handler, and then completely *SWALLOWING* all error messages. Gee, thanks! [That was sarcasm] After days of tracing through torterous class files and a ton of PHP source code, I kinda sorta found where it was allegedly loading in a config file that allegedly would have let me set where I wanted error messages to go. After changing that failed, I never tried to use PEAR again. I had already wasted more time fighting with it than it would have taken to just write the code I wanted in the first place! > I've looked into phplib, but it seems dated and I've read where it looks > like there is or was plans to merge phplib into pear. I think PEAR grew out of (in part, to some degree) phpLIB. I don't think you want to use phplib at this point. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
