Notice: use of undefined constant ???

[sharapov]

I just installed latest PHP, Zend, and MySQL on Windows XP Proffesional. The register_globals are on. When I try to run quiry from a database I get the following error (example):

Notice: Use of undefined constant DIR_INCLUDES - assumed 'DIR_INCLUDES' in /home/bin905/config/header.php on line 4

Warning: Failed opening 'DIR_INCLUDESinclude_once.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/bin905/config/header.php on line 4

etc.

Before, when I was running PHP Version 4.2.1 and MySQL 3.23.49 everything was fine. I am pretty sure that this is a setting issue. Does anybody know how to fix this? 😕

similar problem:

it's in your php.ini file in error reporting.. you need to turn the reporting of "notices" off.

I can disable notices, but what I really want to find out why is it showing those notices. It wasn't doing it before.

Thanks.

The problem is in /home/bin905/config/header.php Line 4

Either DIR_INCLUDES is a constant which you've lost somewhere or it's a string which you've not quoted. Try putting quotes around it and see if that helps.
