From: wbowmer at fairfaxdigital dot com dot au Operating system: All PHP version: 5.3.0alpha2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Default Error Reporting encourages lax programming
Description: ------------ The php.ini-dist file in the archive has settings designed for a live install, but also has settings intended for a development install. In particular, error_reporting is set to disable Notice errors. Unfortunately, this encourages a number of bad programming habits, most notably using variables without intializing them. This habit is unfortunately common in PHP code and significantly hinders debugging. I've like to request future versions default to error_reporting = E_ALL (i.e. enable Notice errors) in order to give PHP programmers just that little bit extra encouragement to be better programmers.
