Stricter Error Checking?

Hello, I just spent way, way to much time trying to debug code due to a misnamed element. Here is a simplified example of the problem I dealt with. $test = "SELECT * FROM Materials WHERE Part_Number = '125664'"; $result = mysql_query($test,$handle); if(!$result) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo $row['Number']; After retyping the code 3 or 4 times over the course of the morning, I finally found where the problem was. The problem is that the database field is called 'Part_Number', not 'Number'. The field 'Number' does not exist in the database. I am very surprised that I didn't even get a warning that there might be a problem with the statement. All I saw is that nothing was being returned via the echo command. There really must be a stricter error checking that is turned on somewhere, isn't there? Thanks for your help. Tim
