Possible to get Firebug to alert me to Errors when it's minimized?

[mfarley]

I've noticed that with JavaScript, Firebug will display a red [# Errors] in the status bar of Firefox even when Firebug's minimized.

However, with FirePHP, I have to have the Firebug window open to be alerted to PHP Errors in the Firefox Status Bar.

Is there any way to get Firebug to alert me to FirePHP errors even if Firebug's minimized? (similar behavior to Javascript errors)

Thanks!

Would you be able to file a ticket in the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/firephp/issues/list

I'll see what I can do for the current 0.x extension. The 1.0 release will definitely work more seamlessly in this regard.

Many thanks Chris.  I'm a long-time PHP developer who finally started using FirePHP after hearing all the buzz.  What an amazing time saver, I can't explain what a relief it's been to have such an elegant solution for debugging.  

After years of:
echo '<pre>'; print_r($array); echo '</pre>';

We finally have a proper solution..

Thanks again!

Thanks for the great feedback. Can I use your quote on the front page of www.firephp.org? Should I use "Matt Farley" as the source?
