Read www.php.net/error_reporting please, this is not a bug

Well, define $e then. ;) Or put a '@' in front of it
to suppress the error. Or turn down the error_reporting().
Check the manual for more information on using the
language:

  http://www.php.net/manual

And especially the section on error handling:

  http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.error-handling.php

because you are using $e in the switch statement
although it has never been given a value before

if this annoies you turn of E_NOTICE warning level

or wrap your switch into 

if(isset($e)) {
 ...
}
