I was mistaken. The warning is tagged as E_DEPRECATED, which is part of E_ALL. These are the recommended error_reporting levels: ; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE ; Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT ; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED ... so end-users tend to see this everywhere except in production (assuming they follow these recommended values). -- Jon Parise (jon of php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
