[osusano]

hello there i installed my apache and php 4.3.4 on my windows 2000 professional and i can even do some php coding but my question is why i cant make an if statement from a variable which is not defined from top?

like this

if($test != ''){
   print 'test';
}

while my php.ini configurations is register_globals = On

it always give me an error like this

Notice: Undefined index: test in c:\apache\htdocs\body.php on line 2

Hi

Should you code not be:

if($test != ''){ 
   echo $test;
}

If I understand what you want to do correctly.

In fact, this could be done as

if($test != '') echo $test;
