I have many places where I use references like this: if ($fields['flags']['someflag']) ... or perhaps if ($_POST['checkboxfieldname']) ... If there is no value for 'someflag', or if the check box was not checked -- both of which are often the case -- these generate errors at level E_NOTICE. Is there any way to prevent references to missing array elements from generating errors without turning off all E_NOTICE notifications?
