	Set error reporting to all.
	Marvel at how it reports this simple typo in a clear and easy to  
understand way.
	Then notice it also gives you a million warnings for a lot of valid stuff  
in your code.
	Cry.

	My favourite is array_key_exists(). Without looking at the docs, can you  
tell me the order of the parameters ?
