Note Submitter: StarLight->slt at municipium dot com dot pl ---- Yeah, but when You have Your Brand New Custom Error Handler which emails You, the Boss and Your cat when an error occures it's not a good idea ;) Or, You may want to know what happens later after the error - it sometimes helps. But, I too use it often, because my error handler displays a nice magic box with description etc. ;) I've found trigger_error very helpful in checking mysql calls. For example: $result=mysql_query($query) or trigger_error("MySQL error nr ".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()); which gives a very nice result if the query is invalid or fails for some reason (i.e. malicious users trying to send surprises for Your query through Your GET variables ;). Without this, You would get a strange message saying sth. like this: "supplied argument is not a valid mysql result resource" a few lines later where You would normally call all Your fancy fetchdata routines ;).
