Yes, PHP is well known for sloppy programmers - more so than any other 
language around.

As for your jpeg - it's still a simple problem if your error logging is 
set up properly in your development system.  And if your development 
system correctly duplicates your production system, if it works on the 
development system, it will work on the production system.

I have several development systems set up here (for different clients 
who have different needs).  I have never had a problem with code working 
on the development system and not working on the production one.
