Bug #68105 [NEW]: Switch shouldn't show notices for undefined variables

From: jacob87 at o2 dot pl Operating system: PHP version: 5.5.17 Package: Output Control Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Switch shouldn't show notices for undefined variables Description: ------------ Switch should not show notices about undefined variables, as it can have it's default action. So, the notice shouldn't show up if switch has default action (best implementation). Or not show notices at all (easier). You could say "just turn off notices in production environment". That is not the case. In development environment some scripts can fail because of "Headers already sent". And I don't want to write redundant code such as if(!isset($var))$var=''; Test script: --------------- switch($action){ default: echo 'This shouldn't show a notice!'; break; } Expected result: ---------------- This shouldn't show a notice! Actual result: -------------- Notice: Undefined variable: action in (...)
