Bug #14736: about error_reporting for $_GET

From: Xuefer@21cn.com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: about error_reporting for $_GET suggest that it should be possible to turn off warnning of undefined index of $_GET ans $_POST and so on.. example: such as: url: http://www.domain.com/index.php code: <?php echo $_GET['id']; ?> would cause warnning 'Undefined index' unless the user must type in http://www.domain.com/index.php?id=123 or.... the code should be changed into: <?php if (!empty($_GET['id'])) print $_GET['id']; ?> or maybe: <?php $id = empty($_GET['id'])?0:$_GET['id']; // just like register_global ? ..... echo "id is: $id"; // 'no warnning' for use here ?> of cause, we can turn off warnning for a running website. but....how can the web developers bear it when developing ? it's a 'terrible' warnning message that we don't want, we should have our attentions to those warnning about variables like $foo['bar'] not $_GET['id'] nor $_POST['username'] -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14736&edit=1
