error_reporting (E_ALL);

Tim Tyler

I've been experimenting with using:

error_reporting (E_ALL);

However, lines like this report problems when the variable is missing:

$open = $_GET['open'];

Is there some way to do that with error reporting left turned on -
that *doesn't* give a warning?

Do you have register_globals turned off?

What warning exactly was it? Or was it a notice?

This will give you all error reports EXCEPT notices (which is what I get with an
undeclared variable).

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

For more info, check out the following URL. You can just turn on specific
warning types by using the "|" to seperate them.

if (isset($_GET['open']))
$open = $_GET['open'];
else
$open = NULL;

or

$open = (isset($_GET['open'])) ? $_GET['open'] : NULL;

<?php
if (isset($_GET['open'] && (int)$_GET['open']>0)
// don't let users put anything but integers in $open !
$open = (int)$_GET['open'];
else
$open = 0; // 0 means bad input
?>

As well as the checks with isset posted by others, there's:

$open = @$_GET['open'];

But only if NULL is an acceptable value for you to use.

I guess if the syntax sugar is there anyway, you might as well use it.

Thanks very much to those who responded - it's appreciated.
