Yes you should, if you are using undeclared variables, this could lead to coding problems, and/or security problems depending on how you have acces to your php files setup. As a rule of thumb, i declare all variables and do check isset on my indexes, so far my framework/cms has over 4000 lines of codes and i adress each notice and warning accordingly... But then again, this is just my philosophy its really up to you to decide how you code, and how to adress issues that emmit notice messages.. If you don't adresse those message then be sure to turn error_reporting off on your production server. Besides, using isset is a good way of determining certain "states" of your programm flow, for me it comes in handy rather then being a long task.. I feel full control over what is happening in your script will lead you to 1. less errors, 2. a better understanding of your script wich then leads itself into 3. easier debugging (yup their are a lot of people who have scripts that "work" but don't really know why! ) Regards, Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
