He asks a perfectly polite, intelligible and on-topic question. Even if he isn't a good proportion of posters are non-native speakers, and I imagine they find this kind of thing a little intimidating. One strange thing I notice about this list: even the most off-topic and misguided question (like how can I clear a user's browser cache with PHP, how do I set up a mailserver) gets a few intemperate answers and then (perhaps because people's attention is drawn to it) a series of useful answers. This encourages posters to come back and ask again, as they keep getting answers. A well-formulated question, on the other hand, will sometimes just be ignored, perhaps because it is buried in the general traffic.

Parse errors, no. When the script won't parse, it can't run, so there's no way to capture the error with php. Other errors (mysql, can't open file, etc). Yes. Most functions will return something upon execution (the result you want on success, false/null on failure). Capture that. Notices? Turn that off in the php.ini for production. You can also have php log the errors. -- John C.
