Any suggestions? There is a php.ini setting for the level of errors which will be displayed. This is a real problem as simply changing the level does nothing to correct poor coding practices (no offense here not talking specifically to you). I recently tried using a script that was very highly touted for what it does and indeed if you turn off all errors it does see nice. But why would people design that way. There were so many errors the the script was completely crippled. An not just variables unassigned .. but just sloppy (to me) practices like array[bgcolor] instead of array['bgcolor'] or defining bgcolor before hand.
