PHP's advanced features do not appear to work

xsilentdx

I get a page full of errors when I load up this page:

http://www.exoronet.net/tutorials/source/chapter28/index.php
(if the above link doesnt work try http://exoronet.net:8080/.....)

the same exact code is also located at:

http://www.elfking.net/schoolwork/tutorials/source/chapter28/index.php. it works perfectly.

http://www.exoronet.net/test.php is my phpinfo page.

on request I can post my httpd.conf and php.ini files.

I'm runing under RedHat 9, apache 1.3, php 4.3.1

hmm. any other things I can add to this post 🙂

you have forgotten the most important thing... the code?...
Anyway, i have found in your phpinfo that register_globals is off, you should try to pick up the value of the variables with $GET['variable'] or $POST['variable'] when passing them through post or get method...

I enabled Register_globals. but nothing changed

keep in mind I'm just seting up the server. I dont know a thing about php.

thessoro

i suppose you restarted the server...
i don't know then what your problem is, maybe posting some of the problematic code in index.php could help

xsilentdx

the exact same code on the other server works fine though. it's not the code itself... just in case, attached is index.php

I renamed it to index.txt

the code is right, it has to do with PHP installation. It seems like being debugging your code or something or being very verbose.
maybe the problem is in your php.ini file:

"error_reporting 2047"

try changing it to 2039 (it is just how i have it)

modified:
that's it. Take a look at
http://es.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php#errorfunc.constants

2039 = 2047 - 8 , "8" is the code for enabling that "notices" you are having

Thank-you... everything is now working as I would expect 🙂

That's one reason why it's easier to use the error reporting level names instead of just the numbers 🙂.

What all those notices were stating was that the script is using variables without making sure that they exist first; in each instance where the notice pops up, it's because the variable in question didn't have a value before it was used. (One can regard PHP's Notice: lines as indicators of sloppy programming.)
