offset

[redzzzon]

Hello

I am getting an erro when seeing a page with the following script on my host server. I am not seeing the error on IIS server on my localhost.

switch($new_bulliten[$x++])
{
CASE 1 when the value is $new_bulliten[$x++] = some value
cASE 2 when the value is $new_bulliten[$x++] = some value
CASE 3 when the value is $new_bulliten[$x++] = some value
CASE ..... when the value is $new_bulliten[$x++] = some value

}

The error I get is

Undefined offset: 1 in C:\Accounts\letsomeb\wwwRoot\board_buildup.php on line 30

thanks

thomas

Notices are usually signs of sloppy coding practice. In this case, you're not checking that $new_bulletin[1] has a value before you try to use it. To improve the code, fix that problem. To ignore it and hope no-one finds out, look up [man]error_reporting[/man].

Thanks weedpacket

the problem was that the array was not aviliable for the switch. I could not hide that error. I implimented the right method to call it to the script so that I can use the switch based on values in the array.

Still I do not understand why it works on my localhost. I have not edited the php.ini yet. Could globals be turned on. While on the hosting site globals is turned off.

incrementing an array such as array[$x++] without known values will cause an offset error.

Why do you think it worked on my server?

Thanks
