How To Make PHP-Nuke ... easier to debug???

I just had a great idea.. or...maybe ive drank to much cofee?

Its up to you to decide.

anyway....

Within the error capturing of php programming...

like

Code:

<?


  


 @ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "username", "password");








  if (!$db)


  {


     echo "Error: Could not connect to database.  Please try again later.";


include ("includes/footer.inc");


     exit;


  }

Why not set up forums... with the answers to those errors... and inlcude links within the error capturing???

like

Code:

<?


  


 @ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "username", "password");








  if (!$db)


  {


     echo "Error: Could not connect to database.  Please try again later.";


     echo "<br>";


     echo "<a href="http://somewebsite.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=posting&mode=newtopic&f=16">Error 420</a">;





include ("includes/footer.inc");


     exit;


  }

95 percent of the people that would get the error...
"Error: Could not connect to database"
Would not know to go back and check the username and password...

This would in my oppinion increase the ability of php-nuke to be used by new programmers... make looking for fixes... only a click away...

Shouldn't the creator of the system point to a FAQ on his website ?

Oh yeah i forgot phpnuke.org has no FAQ and Forums Laughing
