Hi Guys,

I have just taken over a (student) project that is a system written using
PHP, JavaScript MySQL, Apache, REST and a couple of other technologies. The
basic situation is I am the third student to work on this project and I am
in a tidy-up/refactor phase at the moment.

I was told the code was causing a lot of errors since upgrading to the
latest version of PHP which was necessary to get REST working so I was going
to make my first task a bug hunt. However I think that the so called errors
are just notices that were displayed because the following line was in the
php.ini file: error_reporting = E_ALL, instead of: error_reporting =
E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE.

Now I am guessing a notice is sort of like a warning you may get from the
compiler in another programming language (ignorable but not necessarilly
desirable and sometimes can cause problems) but was hoping some of you good
people might be able to explain the difference and tell me whether I should
be hunting these down and rewriting the code that causes them.

I had a bit of a hunt through google's group search but could not find much
of this info if someone knows some good web links about this sort of stuff I
would also appreciate the info.

Eamon Reyn.
