undefined variable

forcer

whenever i use this code..

<?php  

if (!$page) { 
include 'home.php'; 
} elseif (file_exists($page.".php")) { 
switch ($page) {  

case 'home':  

include 'home.php'; 
break;
case 'songlist':
include 'songlist.php';
break;
default:  

include '404.php'; 
} 
} else { 
include '404.php'; 
}
?>

but i am gettin a undefined variable in page on ine 2 or something but i dont see anything rong

but when i go to something like index.php?page=songlist it works fine but just not when i go directly to the site

instead of include: you may have to use Header("Locaton: ");

forcer

when i do that i get this error

Warning: Undefined variable: page in d:\html\users\karlgnet\html\version4\index.php on line 2

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\html\users\karlgnet\html\version4\index.php:2) in d:\html\users\karlgnet\html\version4\index.php on line 3

Use

if( !isset($page) )

to test if it is empty.
Your php.ini has the error_reporting set to E_ALL.

A side note: I'm guessing that you have register globals on since $page isn't declared from the GET/POST/SESSION arrays. It may not matter in this particular case but, with reg globs on, anyone can submit any var with any value to a script.

That is particularly risky if you have undefined vars in scripts (and why it's essential to develop with E_ALL error reporting).

If you don't have any undefined vars, reg globs on doesn't pose any threat.
