Undefined variable

dobwiu

Hi...

I've created a file .INC where I put some the variables in the begin, and the fuctions in the end of this file. In my job's computer, the code works fine... At my home computer, I get the follow error: "Notice: Undefined variable: xxx in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\settings.inc on line xx... where this line contains one of these variables created in the begin of the file.

I'm using the PHP 4.2.1... Does anybody knows what it could be ???

Thanks a lot !!!

It may be a configuration problem.... try copying the php.ini file from you work computer to your home computer.

it should be found in c:\winnt\php.ini (if you are using NT)

I think you job server doesn't show notices, but your (home) server shows them. Undefined variable would be something like :
$abc = "def";
$lel = $lal;

If $lal doesn't exist, you get a notice error. When you work with form or anything else and you want to assign a variable to a variable, you can use something like :
$nom = (isset($POST["nom"])) ? $POST["nom"] . "";
Gives $_POST["nom"] is this variable exists, and gives "" if it doesn't...

Hi H.L. !!

Thanks for the tips.. but I'm still having the problem... I get the error notice at the first line of the function dbconnect()... See part of the code below...

/ Variables for the DataBase Connection /

global $db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $dbase;
$db_host = "localhost" ;
$db_user = "user" ;
$db_pass = "pass" ;
$dbase = "base01" ;

/ System Functions /

function dbconnect() {
mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass)
or die(sql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbase)
or die(sql_error());
}

function sql_error() {
global $erro_num, $erro_msg;

if(empty($erro_msg)) {
$erro_num = mysql_errno();
$erro_msg = mysql_error();
}

Return "$erro_num: $erro_msg";
}
