hi,

It appears like error_reporting now also includes E_NOTICE by default. This causes a lot of scripts to spit out bogus errors. I know the error should be fixed in the script in the first place, but I couldn't find anything about this change either in the bug database nor in the changelog so I assume it is a bug and not an intentional setting. However, feel free to bogusify if I'm wrong :)

Not true, in the code the default is:

EG(error_reporting) = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE;

Which means that is the value if you have no php.ini file.  The default php.ini-dist file that comes with the distribution tarball has:

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

So again here nothing has changed.  Now, individual binary distributions may or may not have changed this.  I think a windows build at some point had it set to E_ALL, but the default has not changed.

hi,

php.ini-recommended has error_reporting = E_ALL, though .. but thanks anyway for clearing this up.
