Un-suppress warnings?

I think that CodeIgniter is suppressing warnings that I'd like to see during the development process. I have my error reporting level set to "E_ALL & E_STRICT" in CodeIgniter's index.php file, and I purposefully put an undefined variable in one of my views as a test, but I don't get a displayed or logged notice/warning. PHP files outside of CodeIgniter but on the same website do log warnings properly, so I think CodeIgniter is changing something upon initialization. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
