I'd bet this is solely to do with your error_reporting setting -- what is it
when you have the error-trapping include commented out? Odds on it's E_ALL
^ E_NOTICE, and the two errors in question are NOTICE-level messages (as
evidenced by the [8] in each message) -- so you see them when your error
handler has control, but not when it doesn't. Try putting the
error_reporting(E_ALL) call in your main script, commenting out the include,
and seeing if you now get standard PHP notices about these two errors.
Something else to note is that the setting of error_reporting has absolutely
no effect on when your error_handler is called -- it will be called every
time there is an event that *could* generate an error message. It's up to
your error_handler to decide, on each occasion, whether it *should* issue a
message -- thus, if you want it to observe the error_reporting setting, you
have to test the value of the $errno parameter (which is actually the error
*level* of the error, not an individual error number) against the current
setting of error_reporting() (you have to fetch the result of
error_reporting() every time, since it will be zero if the context
triggering the error is affected by an @ operator, allowing you to ignore
that particular error if you want to).
Cheers!
