I'll drink to that.

When doing PHP work, I have created a monitor library that runs at the
start of every PHP script I create and monitors the script for errors
that the PHP language lets through by default (and bloody well should not).

It routinely catches stupid mistakes that PHP would otherwise let through
and that would have caused additional debugging effort.

No, I am not allowed to share it unfortunately.

I do NOT like PHP, but I am forced to use it for some of my work because
of its established ecosystem.
