Here is a php sample script my friend gave me and I can't get rid of the error on line 7 it has to deal with the variable he said he dosn' get an error but I am getting one.

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
//sample script

if($action == "sample"){
//link clicked
$html = "Congrats, you clicked the link!";
} else {
//no link clicked... display the link
$html = "Hello!<br>Would you like to <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?action=sample\">click me</a>?";
}
echo $html;
?>
</body>
</html>

Hope you can help😕

What sort of error? where is your variable defined? do you have register_globals on or off?

It helps if you enlighten us a bit more 😉

Sorry this is where the error is

if($action == "sample"){

the $action

it says this error

Undefined variable: action in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\sample.php on line 7

now it is weird because it works for him

register_globals is on

oh yea and this is a stand alone script no forms or anything it is as you see it.

This looks like a Warning error, not a fatal error. Go into php.ini and change the error display from E-All to the following:

error_reporting = E_ERROR; display fatal run-time errors

This will turn off the warning and only show you execution errors.
