[FX.php List] PHP Notices OK?

[Jonathan Schwartz]

OK. That's fair.

To be honest, I never knew about these things since I have developed 
on my own server and Notices are turned off....until now. ;-)

One step further...my notices appear to be of the Undefined Variable 
type.  I did see your suggestion from last week, to add in 
if(isset($variable)) rather than "surprise" PHP when an undeclared 
variable appears.  Is another alternative to simply declare the 
variable at the top of he page?  If so, how is that best done?

Thx

Jonathan
