I'm also +1 on the E_NOTICE. Indeed, an error is really not appropriate here as this is seldom used in some very specific case (like testing php with phpt tests): To test the method offsetGet(), an echo is made with the call to the method and the parameters. That way we see in the expected part that we are calling it with offsetGet(Array,anIndex)... function offsetGet($index) { echo __METHOD__ . "($this->element, $index)\n"; return isset($this->element[$index]) ? $this->element[$index] : NULL; }
