First, it assumes the op is running Apache. Many are not.
Second, it assumes PHP errors are being written to the Apache error log.
A sysadmin who knows his stuff will not mix application and server
errors in the same log.
Third, it assumes the user has access to the apache error log. This is
not true on the vast majority of hosts, for security reasons.
Fourth, it assumes the PHP error messages will tell the user everything
they need to know. This is not the case - as is evinced by a lot of
messages in this newsgroup asking what a particular error message means.
Only a newbie would make such a claim.
