[Resolved] php.ini config

asa_carter

Hi,

I've just reinstalled php version 4.3.5.

I'm having problems with the php.ini file. I've followed some instructions but I think the session settings aren't set up right.

I keep getting this error:

Notice: Undefined variable: page in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\marketplace\list.php on line 189

Any idea's what could be wrong or where I could get any good set up instructions?

Cheers,

Asa

That's not a setup problem. That's a code problem.

I agree. I'm going to move this to the general help forum...

It means you're using variables before they've been given a value. This is a risky practice, hence the Notice.

I'm not using a variable before it has been declared though.

The code works fine on my ISP's server. So it must be a problem with my php.ini.

Just gone through my code and I can see why it's picking it up.

switch ($page)
{
  case "next":
    next_table_position();
	sort_table();
	display_table();
  break;
  case "previous":
	previous_table_position();
	sort_table();
	display_table();
   break;
   default:
     sort_table();
	 init_table_position();

$page is not defined before the switch statement.

However, this works fine on my other sever.

Is it a problem with error reporting settings in php.ini or is there another way of declaring the variable. The switch stement is saying if $page does not exist go to the functions within default:

It depends on where $page is supposed to be getting its value from. See this if it's a form.

It can be changed by adjusting php.ini, but there's not a lot of point because as soon as you go to another server you'll probably have the same issue all over again, so you might as well fix the problem the Notice is advising you of once and for all, yeah?

Hi,

Ok. It's basically a table of results. If the user clicks to view the next page of results, the page is refreshed with the value of $page in the query string.

Initially though, how do i define $page to give it a value that won't change when the next page of results are viewed?

Cheers

if(isset($_GET['page']))
 {
 $page = $_GET['page'];
 }
else
 {
 $page=1;
 }

Thanks - that's worked.
