Problem with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS?

Beauford

I am creating a login authentication scheme for a website that is running on Windows XP and using IIS (not my idea) and running into some problems. The scripts work fine on my Linux box, but when I port them to Windows I get all sorts of errors. i.e.

Notice: Undefined index: login in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xxxx.xxxx.xxxx\login\checklogin.php on line 74

and 75, and other similar errors.

Line 74 is: $login = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['login'];
Line 75 is: $password = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['password'];

Another one is: echo $HTTP_ENV_VARS["QUERY_STRING"];

I have global variables turned on in php.ini (which some say is not a good idea), but I am not sure of how to get things to work otherwise. Anyway, I'm getting away form the problem.

Any help on why this is would definately be appreciated. I'm not sure if this is because of the way IIS sees these or what, but I really need these to work.

Thanks

open your php.ini, search for
error_reporting = ...
replace it with

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

This is already there......

Notice: Undefined index: login in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xxxx.xxxx.xxxx\login\checklogin.php on line 74

see if, you have variable name "login" in your form

anybody know about DNS in Linux?

NOTE: This works on Apache (in both Windows and in Linux) - just not IIS - so there is no problem with the code - it is an issue with the IIS platform. I am not that familiar with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS even on a Linux platform, so I'm not sure how IIS deals with it or how to determine the problem.

i'm having the same problems. they only occur in WINDOWS XP running IIS. the page generates an 'undefined index error' at line xxx. it occurs with all of the $POST variables that are not defined. basically, if im trying to access the $POST array with variables that i havent defined (i.e. if($_POST['varName']) ...), IIS is saying "well, there's no such index as varName, so i'm gonna screw up. i know what it's doing, but dont know how to make it work. anyone know how to fix it?
