I just installed a message board on my server, but when users sign up they get this message;  
error :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 234  
File : emailer.php

Yet I turned off email notification, what is wrong?

```php
// Did it work?
		if (!$result)
		{
			message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'error :: ' . (($this->use_smtp) ? 'SMTP' : 'PHP') . ' :: ' . $result, '', __LINE__ , __FILE__ );
		}

		return true;
	}

```

PS: line 234 is;  
message\_die(GENERAL\_ERROR, 'error :: ’ . (($this-\>use\_smtp) ? ‘SMTP’ : ‘PHP’) . ’ :: ’ . $result, ‘’, **LINE** , **FILE** );
