I just don't see the need. PHP explodes right on the screen for me.
I can usually find and fix an error in a few seconds of seeing it in
my browser or in my terminal. Lines numbers always accompany the
error messages, and you can even go the extra mile and link the error
messages back into the PHP manual for faster lookups when required.
Granted if you have a long running PHP app that's acting funky then
you might want to analyze it in more depth.. but at that point you
gotta ask yourself should you even be using PHP for the task at hand?
Could this task or even part of the task be better handled better with
another language?
