disabling PHP Error/Severity notices

[eluser]niyogi[/eluser]
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.
