Re: Undifined Indexes

Thanks Mike,

I was on IRC earlier and found that all exceptions are caught regardless 
of your ini settings. While I definitely agree that all indexes should 
be defined, and I would like to ensure that all indexes are defined, I 
have been faced with a choice: allow my customers to find these, or turn 
  the error reporting off for them and find them myself through my 
development site. Since a couple of these have come up inside our 
shopping cart while the customer was checking out; I'm opting for the 
later. I guess this make me a "less-than-average" developer, but so be 
it; I'd rather run into the errors rather than my customer.

Thank you much for the advice :).

Mike
