[EdLUG] Maybe "echo" statements would isolate the bug (Was: php/mail forwarding pdf attachment)

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Hi James,

I worked in tech support for programming
languages.

I routinely first try to isolate the location of
bugs.

Once I know where it is, then I can start testing
more precise and tailored fixes.

Evidently php supports "echo" and "print" statements.

Maybe you could lace echos throughout your code,
with informative details echoed to you by each, to 
reveal where a problem is.

I'd like to think knowing where a bug is
would save you time by suggesting more relevant fixes.

Best wishes,
Kingsley
