I agree about testing everything before, but I do know people who have been 
"hacked" by files being uploaded and executed on their website. That is one way 
that bad code can get there. I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't do it on 
purpose just to get at the information that can be provided by debugging output.

That's why at first I was confused about this. I didn't even think that the 
original poster wouldn't use the site-wide error handler. I was thinking that 
his problem was bypassing it.

Sorry I misunderstood.

You can! This is why every application should include multiple levels
of error handling.
