 * Wondered what the best way to debug a plugin was. I fiddling with an LDAP plugin
   and want to browse some of the passed-to and calculated values in the script,
   but I can’t find any method other than die() to view any data. Not impressed 
   by WP’s suggestion of using die.
 * Tried php error_log() but nothing is produced.
 * Turn on errors and get lots of notifications, but non to do with my script. Is
   there a really obvious way of writing debug info somewhere ?
 * thanks
