Re: Things to check before you post (The Ultimate PHP Checlist)

In all my code, I use the following At the beginning of all files, functions, etc $Debug = true; # false if I'm feeling lucky.. Scattered around, and at entry and exit points. if ($Debug) {echo ("Very useful message , or the value of something important =".$Something_important."<BR>");} Litter the code with debug messages, it's SO helpful when something goes wierd. Later, I may get a little more specific, and do something like this: if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "my.ip.adr.here") {$Debug = true;} else {$Debug = false;} to avoid having to turn it on and off. Pity that variables like $REMOTE_ADDR aren't global.
