PHP question

[daniel.robert at acm.org (Danny Robert)]

Typically these messages are "avoided" by turning down the error
reporting level once in production.  The isset() approach is a fine way
of doing it, or just seeing the messages while developing, then turning
down the logging level in production is fine too.
