It has been proposed to make the error level of "Undefined index" configurable so that teams and individual developers can decide for themselves how they want this situation to be handled. Given that: - PHP has been treating this as an E_NOTICE for over 20 years

But not in the last three years.

PHP 8.x is only starting to roll out in Linux LTS distro packages at the end-user level. I've moved to 8.x internally but I am, in particular, waiting for Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 to officially drop before beginning meticulously planned upgrades to mission critical systems. I suspect many people are in a similar holding pattern who are currently running packaged 7.4.x and are just now discovering all of the changes for PHP 8.x as they are planning out their system upgrade paths in the coming months. While you probably wish everyone marched in step with PHP-latest, that's simply not feasible in reality. The type of post that the OP sent to internals is likely to become more common in the next few months as PHP 8.x starts rolling out globally. Most businesses are waiting for at least the holidays to conclude before performing any major system upgrades if not longer for specific OS releases to drop. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President CubicleSoft has over 80 original open source projects and counting.
