Hi, sorry if this was covered anywhere previously in this thread, but
I've found it useful, in addition to enabling the full error reporting
that's built into PHP, to also add customized error_log calls anywhere
where you have such things as database inserts/updates, web service

Arrays are a powerful tool.
Once you get the hang of it, you can do almost anything.
Notice that some of them have named keys.
Anyway, I remember when I first started using arrays, especially with
named keys, and the world of possibilities
that they opened up. So I thought I would share this

I switched over from Windows a couple of years ago. I'm not a pro, but I
found a few things that were frustrating for me as I switched distros or
got a new machine.
Here's my advice that others have not already covered.
1) Take the time to figure out how to move your /home to another partition.
I have a single table, with about 20 fields, 2 enum's, etc. I'm looking
for a simple tool that can wrap a form around this table and allow people
to update/edit it. I feel phpmyadmin would work but it's way too complex
for this project.
Any suggestions?

David, thanks for all the advice, especially the reminder to follow best
practices and mind my variables.
I'll take a look at the XAMPP config files, stick with my stock
installation, and keep error reporting set to E_ALL.
