Error and notice reporting

[smook]

Hey all

I have been running php on my server with notices ON for quite some time... didn't really seem to be a problem -

I inheritted someone elses code for another project and when i started running it on the server my php_error_log zoomed past a gig in about 3 days... filled with notices ... depricated mysql and invalid indexes. I can fix MOST of this... but it will take some time to go through all their code.

In the mean time... i shut off NOTICES... but can anyone tell me if code that generates NOTICES runs slower than code that doesn't? I've found that when I fix a couple pages they seem to run a bit better regardless of whether the notices are logging or not - can anyone tell me whether this is true?

I can't answer your question, but what I do is when I'm in the development stage, I add error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top (unless I am using sessions and then I put it below the session_start() line) and so any errors should get shown. Then, when I have the code in a state in which it can go live, then I remove the line from the code.
