External server = Ok! Local server = Bad! Weird problem!

evo4ever

Hey guys. I currently have quite a large site. 100% coded in php and a massive Include folder.

I've always tested the php on a testing server externally... to my host on lycos. Everything works great... all works as expected! But if I try and test the site's php locally, on my wwwroot. I get a load of errors! Here are them all:

Notice: Undefined index: action in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\display.php on line 20

Notice: Undefined index: mid in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\display.php on line 23

Notice: Undefined index: mid in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\display.php on line 26

Notice: Undefined variable: Submit in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\include\scripts\login.php on line 2
Couldn't Connect to MySQL Database

I dont get any of that on my lycos server. It all works perfectly. Do I need to change some settings in my php.ini file? Becuase those errors are not true!
I'll show you the code:

// Script Includes

if($_GET["action"] == "reg"){
include "include/scripts/" . $_GET["action"] . ".php";

} elseif($_GET["mid"]){
include "include/scripts/sessions/email.php";

} elseif($_GET["mid"] == "0" && ($_GET["opt"] == "email" && ($_GET["email"] == "sent"))){
include "include/scripts/sessions/destroy_email.php";

} else {
include "include/scripts/login.php";
}

Do you see anything wrong with them? becuase I certainly dont! Help appreciated. Thx.

Same versions of PHP and such on both? Is there a difference in the output of phpinfo() from both servers?

Before you start changing code, I'd make sure it isn't some sort of version/support problem server side.

The "Undefined Index" notices mean that you are using a variable that doesn't exist.

This is how I would do it.

if (isset($_GET["action"])
    $action = $_GET["action"];
if (isset($_GET["opt"]))
    $opt = $_GET["opt"];
if (isset($_GET["email"]))
    $email = $_GET["email"];

switch($action) {
    case "reg":
        include "include/scripts/reg.php";
        break;
    case "mid":
        include "include/scripts/sessions/email.php";
        if ($action == "0" && $opt == "email" && $email == "sent"
            include "include/scripts/sessions/destroy_email.php";
     default:
          include "include/scripts/login.php";
}

Ok, now after all of that, I would also have to agree with id10t. Make sure that you are running same versions of web server and php on both machines.

Also make sure you have the same warning level on both machines, I have all the simple errors (such as undefined vars etc) on the testing server as its good practice to not have 'em!

Then the Live server only shows errors.

see: error_reporting() - this might help.

My machine is v4.3.0 and the lycos server is v4.1.2.
