This is what I do for error checking:

        ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL | E_STRICT);
        ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
        ini_set('log_errors', 'On');
        ini_set('error_log', 'error_log');

Is this: 1. Sufficient? 2. An overkill? 3. OK? 4. OR, better served with this (and provide an example).

    That's standard practice.  Sometimes, though, it isn't enough, and

we find ourselves using Derick's Xdebug, mod_top, or performing an strace on either the execution or attached to a process. For nearly all cases, though, that's sufficient without being overkill (except for production cases).

But... It won't work in all cases. I find it best to set these settings in the server itself. Not in code. Sometimes, if you have broken code that cannot be parsed, your commands listed above will never be executed. Therefor they will never do any good. -- Jim Lucas http://www.cmsws.com/ http://www.cmsws.com/examples/
