Hi folks

I'd like to disable the errors that appear within our application like the following:

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined variable: gender

Is there a setting withing CI that will disable this?

Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Disabling errors is not a good solution. You should prevent errors from happening. in you case you need to add

Code:
$gender = '';

somewhere of use this function

Code:
function echo_var($name)

{

   return (isset(${$name})?${$name}:'';

}

But the first method is a better practice.
