[FX.php List] PHP FX neophytes needs help

[Steve Hannah]

It may depend on whether you are using the default apache.  The  
default location is
/var/log/httpd/error_log

E.g.:

stevepbook:~ shannah$ tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
[Thu Jul 20 14:12:10 2006] [error] PHP Parse error:  parse error,  
unexpected '(', expecting T_STRING in /Users/shannah/Sites/ 
array_maptest.php on line 3
[Thu Jul 20 14:12:10 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not  
exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/favicon.ico
[Thu Jul 20 14:12:21 2006] [error] PHP Parse error:  parse error,  
unexpected '(', expecting T_STRING in /Users/shannah/Sites/ 
array_maptest.php on line 3

Hope this helps.
