D'oh. Sometimes you stare and stare and stare at something and you still don't see it. Thanks a bunch.

Would the use of ... error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors', 1); have helped during your development?

I'm not sure it would have in this case, as there were no errors from the PHP side of things -- what I had done was perfectly acceptable to PHP. error_log doesn't require the last 2 arguments and did send the message to the PHP error log with no problems. I just wasn't looking there... I do set those values when I'm developing and testing an application typically, though, so that is good advice in general.

It's not Friday, but a general discussion of testing and debugging PHP might be a good thing, no?
