Better Error Trapping!

Hi All- I have searched for a while and cannot seem to find a quality error trapping script!!! Here is the situation, about a week ago one of the sites I built (which is hosted on a shared server @ an ISP) went down. It went down because the database server got moved. If I had been notified of the page errors that were being generated, I would have been able to address the problem more quickly and get their site back online. Luckily I found the problem, not the client, however they did have a few people call and ask about it. I was very angry and spent the rest of the day looking for a good error trapping script, but I couldn't find anything. I am not very experienced with error trapping in PHP, so here are a couple questions. Aside from major code errors which should be fixed in development, things like database connections won't stop the page from processing, so I am wondering if PHP Errors (Warnings?) are stored in an array? Maybe I can put a script into the php.ini appending every page with a small piece of code that checks if any errors are present and if they are immediately email me. Does that sound like a solid process for doing some basic alerting when PHP scripts are generating errors? I'd love to hear other people's input on this and how they are attacking this problem!
