Is it possible to turn "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object" into a Fatal Error?

If a variable is holding NULL in PHP, attempting to access a property on it results in the notice "Trying to get property of non-object". If an attempt is made to call a method on it, however, the result is "Fatal error: Call to a member function method-name() on a non-object":

<?php
$obj = NULL;
var_dump($obj->prop);
$obj->method();

Is there a way to make PHP treat both of these runtime errors as Fatal Errors?

I don't have an idea but i think you can handle it manualy by catching the notice and throwing an exception followed by the line

exit();

You can register your own error handler, which can promote this kind of error to a fatal error.
See http://php.net/set_error_handler and specifically the examples.
