Notices flooding logs with fastcgi

Hello everybody,

I have chosen this list because my problem is related to one particular
style of php installation. At least I think so.

I'm running php 5.2.11 and plesk 9.2.3, php through fastCGI.

My problem is that, since error_log is unset, php passes on any errors
to the webserver (-handler). This fills up my logs with hundreds of
MBytes of Notices every day, even though error_reporting is set to 6135
(notices shouldn't be logged).
So error_reporting appears to be ignored when error_log is unset and php
is run through fastcgi. Any idea how I can fix that?
I unfortunately can't change error_log to the appropriate path, because
the fastcgi user doesn't have access to the log directory...

Here is an example log:
[Mon Oct 26 00:57:52 2009] [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Notice:
Undefined offset: 1 in
/srv/www/vhosts/XXXX/httpdocs/x3/inc/shopstat_functions.inc.php on line 82

Thanks so much in advance,

Max
