What's the difference between E_NOTICE and E_STRICT then?
It would be as easy to trigger errors like "Notice: Use of deprecated function `is_a`; use `instanceof` instead"
Purists who want to be sure to be coding >The PHP Way< will use error_level = E_ALL anyway...
I think we discussed this in the past, but the one (or rather, two) line summary - E_NOTICE is usable for many practical non-purist situations, such as detection of broken variable names, etc. We don't want to force people that want their code to be E_NOTICE clean to also be fully compliant with the latest PHP compatibility guidelines...
