[SOLVED] Turn Off Advanced PHP Debugging

[Brinn]

I have a server that I am setting up ad a development server.    I have a problem though.    All my old scripts are giving me a errors.    I understand why they are, and I am sure I can turn them off, but I don't know how.   

 

I am used to checking to see if a variable is set in order to do something.    If it is there do something, if it isn't set then it doesn't.    However, I am getting error codes when I check to see if that is variable is set.  For example, I have this code here:

 

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") {

$prefix = "https://";

} else {

$prefix = "http://";

}

 

I get this error code:  Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in [[filename]] on line 15

 

How can I turn these notices off?      I did google search it and didn't come up with anything helpful.  However, if you know of any links with this problem please let me know.

Use isset() or empty() to check variables that might not exist at runtime.

Disable error_reporting for E_NOTICE

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Only the display_errors setting should be set to OFF on a live server. Changing the error_reporting setting prevents logging of unexpected problems in the script, such as a legitimate visitor entering a search term that your validation logic does not handle correctly or a hacker probing your script in an attempt to exploit it. Code should not generate any errors as it executes normally, only for unexpected conditions. A variable that might not exist at runtime is not an unexpected condition and should be fixed instead of being masked as the act of masking it will mask other problems as well.
