I've figured this out - thanks anyway.

It appears that they are/can be used to re-direct errors when you do not want them sent to the user. I'm trying to determine the pros and cons of one vs. the other. Could anyone be more helpful / specific on this?

I'm using php5 on linux and do not want to send any error messages to the user but instead to a log file. Which is better in general for this purpose: trigger_error or error_log? In certain cases, I'll also send an email notification on error. For this, I'll use error_log. Is this the best way to do this? Thanks!
