Re: Re: comment more than a question

Yeah I never really look at what the error message actually says, it usually turns out to be unhelpful because of those line numbers. I just look, for example, to see if it says the error happened past the last line of the script, and I know im missing a } somewhere. The errors PHP returns are more about reading inbetween the lines than reading the actual error lines.
