## Description

This plugin allows developers to debug PHP errors.

_Features for Developers_

 * You can get call stack trace when PHP errors are triggered.
 * This is particularly helpful in finding errors that are triggered by the WordPress
   deprecation and
    doing_it_wrong code. These errors are reported in the WordPress
   core instead of at the location where the incorrect usage actually occurs.
 * You can set the error level from the Settings page, the default is trap Notice
   and Deprecation errors

simple, small and well documented,
 so you can use it as a starting point for your
own error reporting or logging plugin.
