Hi Erfan, Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 9:39:35 AM, you wrote: The site I'm working on has a lot of notice warnings, thousands. And they are all about: (Notice: Undefined variable..) I was wondering if I set the php.ini file to not log these in file or display them, does all of these notice warnings still degrade performance? Or does it become a performance issue only when you log this on either file or display them? You could always fix them? :) But sure, setting PHP to ignore notices will stop your logs filling up, and will of course result in less disk IO, so you'll get a teeny tiny performance gain from it, but nothing to bet your life savings on.

warnings, notices, etc. It actually added almost half a second of execution time to the script which is quite a bit more than a "teeny tiny bit" of performance. My case might be special in that I had a custom error handler registered which caused PHP to call a userspace defined function a few hundred times, but nonetheless the second your script throws any sort of error there are routines being called which adds time.
