Any php Installers Here

Hi, Steve. I am a php programmer I was just being sarcastic as to not have to get technical. I felt like I was taking too much time on that topic lol

BUt what you posted is extremely helpful for any new programmer I wanted to laugh when I realized that was preventing some scripts to work. But since then, I make sure the php.ini error reporting has a standard setting so I never have to worry about that again, so long as I can control it. Sadly, some web hosts seem to be a bit picky about changing the php.ini ;)

Thanks
