Display errors off problem?

I have a public site that creates biorhtym charts using Php.

I have put the following in my php.ini file in case of unforeseen
errors/warnings:
display_errors = Off
display_startup _errors = Off
log_errors = On
error_log = php_error.log

Every once in a while I get an entry in my Apache access log file from
someone clicking on the link in a Php warning message - a warning that
should not appear because of the above.

Like, this warning:
PHP Warning: mysql_connect() [<a
href='function. mysql-connect'>functi on.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied
for user .......

I get a 404 error when they click on the [bad] link to
function.mysql-connect.

Of course, I should find the bug that causes this and get rid of it, but
how can that link appear on the page if I have display_errors = Off?

What I think I'm really asking is; can display_errors be hacked somehow?

And I guess I also have to ask, why is that bad link put into the
warning message in the first place?

Hi,

Hrmm, if you haven't already maybe it might be good to verify that
display_errors is truly off, by looking at the phpinfo() output
(Configuration -PHP Core) on the same page that displays the error...

IIS has quit displaying ASP errors it finds. Errors from SQL Server are displayed as are "page not found" errors but VBScript syntax errors are not. For example, the following code should give the error that x has not been declared but the page just stops processing after displaying "here". <% response.write("here") x %> Thanks!

I'm sorry to barge right into a new newsgroup with a problem, but though I'm old to many things, I'm new to CSS. Here are two web pages. Apparently, they don't display correctly in IE6 under Windows. Both the HTML and the CSS validate with no errors, no warnings. Both of them display correctly with Mozilla 1.2.1 and KDE Conqueror, both versions a couple of years old. <http://www.alevans.com/pyf/index.html>

With this approach, I would throw a plain old ApplicationException, with the Message property as the polite...

Hi Im having problem in firefox with display:none/block. I have essentially 3 li elements. In each element there are a few nested div:s. Clicking on one of the divs, makes another div to display: block or none. Again this works in IE. In ff it has a bug. When the display is none for a div in the first li, then the next li (the one underneath) moves up to the right, looking very ugly. Is there someone who has had the

Hi, I'm wondering if you can show me an example php page that allows me to retrieve and display 3rd party pages.

I hope I can state this clearly enough. I am redoing some of my html(php) forms. I'm trying to break things into three functions on a self processing php page: 1) show the form (and populate fields if there were errors) 2) validate form data 3) process form data 2 and 3 are no problem, but 1 is. The page with the form displayed should validate as html 4.01 strict (actually all iterations of the page
