    The problem was in the php.ini file, the apace referece
    to the file was invalide, and therefor it used the default
    which was to display all errors including notices.
    - I'd also liked to thank for the "isset" notice, I wasn't aware of the
    command before this, and in my case it was
    actually the command to be used.
