I created the error handler as indicated in the book. When tested on browsers the result I get are empty arrays after the error message. I also used the original code downloaded from the text's downloadable content resource and got the same empty arrays. Is this what I should expect? The only difference I see from the book example is the MAC operating system. When I change the value of the 'LIVE' constant to TRUE, I get the correct display of apology message with hidden detailed errors, exactly as in the book. Below is the message with empty arrays when 'LIVE' constant is set to FALSE:
