I copy/pasted this from the php.ini in Fedora Core 3. It's a comment
about the php setting error_reporting. See php.net/error_reporting for
more information

; - error_reporting = E_ALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
; By default, PHP surpresses errors of type E_NOTICE. These error
messages
; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom
of a bigger
; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
