I started with the default install, but it, for me at least, was
horribly broken. The Debian package for phpgw is currently 0.9.13, and
didn't work. I started anew from the current tarball.

Ah. Sorry, I'm a bit new to PHP. Yes, I turned that on when I was having
other problems getting phpgw working. The errors went away, and
presumably they aren't all that important. Thank you.

Did so. All seems to be well, for the most part.

Thanks again for the tip. We're now well on our way to evaluating it,
and will probably use it. I'm looking over the developer's docs to try
to make sure our changes can at least be considered for merging back in
to the main tree.

Thanks again!
