Alright, I read the article. Great as usual. Thanks Matthew.
The following paragraph caught my attention early on:
"So, we then tried using the suppression operator ('@'). This gets rid of
the error notices (though they still show up in logs) -- but has a really
nasty side effect: if there are *parse* or *compilation* errors when
attempting to load the class, nothing is reported, and you end up with a
blank white screen with no information."
Since changing to the Zend_Loader_Autooader, I've been noticing this exact
thing is happening. I'll do some investigating, but as of right now, if I
accidentally use = in an associative array as opposed to => for example, I
get the blank white screen instead of a parse error.
Article was great. I'm going to keep plugging away. Thanks!
