David, thanks for all the advice, especially the reminder to follow best
practices and mind my variables.

I'll take a look at the XAMPP config files, stick with my stock
installation, and keep error reporting set to E_ALL.

Drat! Someone should create one. ;o)

Yeah, making manual backups is tedious and I've messed things up doing
it that way on more than one occasion. *sigh*

I guess I've been avoiding the whole version control thing because it
sounded a little scary, but it sounds like something that could be a
real lifesaver, so I guess I need to get over myself and just do it.
