Since the PHP parser isn't the clearest when it comes to debugging (and these were terribly elusive) here are are some methods that I found to solve the problem.The line numbers associated with the errors were no help at all - the error just wasn't found on line 1. And then when the line number changed, it was not found onPatrick Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18248400606146307273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889409.post-80386113995914056942009-05-03T12:21:00.007-05:002009-05-08T23:46:25.739-05:00Quick Searches. Possibly the end of my temporary keyword mania.When I started this blog a week or so ago, I didn't think the first few would be dedicated to Firefox features but I have to mention Quick Searches before letting go of the keywords tips.I was talking to Matt (Drupal enthusiast extraordinaire) about how I'd found what I thought was a more convenient way to search.
