without getting involved with whether there is a bug here or not
(I neither have the karma or the insight to make that judgement),
I would like to offer the idea that an alternative coding style could
have averted the problem regardless of the lack of an E_NOTICE...
namely a more defensive coding
Folks:
I came across a subtle bug a developer introduced into our application.
It took us a month to realize the bug was there because PHP didn't throw a
notice. Here is a simplified version of what was happening.
// function some_func() {}
$a = some_func();
if ($a['do_something']
