[Scottish] PHP configuration problem ?

[george]

Paul the main reason the script failed was because Tom had supplied the 
wrong parameters in the fwrite() and fclose() functions. Of course the fact 
exit; was outwith the conditional block was another issue. The fact that no 
error messages were generated suggests that the error reporting levels have 
been set incorrectly. When developing scripts it's an idea to set the error 
reporting level to it's highest, you can do this within the php.ini file or 
you can use the error_reporting() function   for example error_reporting(1) 
would set it to the highest level.
