hmm, it's the same for normal variables and it's not an error reporting problem.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$foo = null;
var_dump($bar, $foo['blah']);
OUTPUT:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: bar in /tmp/test2.php on line 5
NULL
NULL

well, i had the feeling that array access on null values would cause an notice.
