php.ini question????

[jeepin81]

Hello All, after many hours of searching, I am unable to find a result for my question.

I am trying to run a php script that I have used many times but now I am trying to use the same script through a new hosting company that I have never worked w/ before and even though the script is working fine, I keep getting a ton of errors.

I am guessing it is something w/ the php.ini file and error handeling but I can not find want I am looking for.

Here is a sample of the errors it is generating:

Notice: Undefined variable: msg in D:\WWWRoot\caredata.med.pro\www\sendDEMO.php on line 2

Notice: Undefined index: hardcopy in D:\WWWRoot\caredata.med.pro\www\sendDEMO.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined index: info_email in D:\WWWRoot\caredata.med.pro\www\sendDEMO.php on line 6

Here is the php code (simple mailing script):

<?
$msg .= "Here is a new Demo response\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "NEWSLETTER:\n\n";
$msg .= "Hardcopy:-------------------------------$_POST[hardcopy]\n";
$msg .= "Email:----------------------------------$_POST[info_email]\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "REQUEST MORE INFORMATION:\n\n";
$msg .= "INFO:-----------------------------------$_POST[info]\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "3 QUESTIONS TO COST SAVINGS:\n\n";
$msg .= "Patients Needing Follow-up Each Day:----$_POST[followup]\n";
$msg .= "New Patients Each Day:------------------$_POST[newpatients]\n";
$msg .= "Rate of Person Doing Follow-up:---------$_POST[rateofpay]\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= "CONTACT INFO:\n\n";
$msg .= "First Name:-----------------------------$_POST[first]\n";
$msg .= "Last Name:------------------------------$_POST[last]\n";
$msg .= "Role:-----------------------------------$_POST[role]\n";
$msg .= "Company Name:---------------------------$_POST[comp]\n";
$msg .= "Company Website:------------------------$_POST[compurl]\n";
$msg .= "Address1:-------------------------------$_POST[ad1]\n";
$msg .= "Address2:-------------------------------$_POST[ad2]\n";
$msg .= "City:-----------------------------------$_POST[city]\n";
$msg .= "Zip:------------------------------------$_POST[zip]\n";
$msg .= "State:----------------------------------$_POST[state]\n";
$msg .= "Country:--------------------------------$_POST[country]\n";
$msg .= "Phone Number:---------------------------$_POST[phone]\n";
$msg .= "Phone Ext.:-----------------------------$_POST[ext]\n";
$msg .= "email:----------------------------------$_POST[email]\n";
$msg .= "How They Heard About Your:--------------$_POST[howheard]\n\n";
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Demo Response";
$mailheaders = "From: $_POST[email]\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-to: $_POST[email]\n\n";
mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>

As stated before, I have used this script multiply times w/ no errors. Also, they are using - PHP 4.3.4.

One more thing - it is not just this snippet of .php code. All php coding I have used throughout the site is generating the same errors/notices/undefined variable.

As always, Many Thanks in advance.

Best,
J.

I would suggest reworking your script with a slight modification. Take all the $POST array keys and wrap them in quotes. For example:

<?php
// This:  

$_POST[hardcopy]

// Should become this:  

$_POST['hardcopy']
?>

Seconldy, I would make sure that each value is set, otherwise, it will throw an error.

For example:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['hardcopy']))
{
   $msg .= "Hardcopy:-------------------------------$_POST['hardcopy']\n"; 
}
?>

or whatever you like. Just make sure the array element has been set before trying to use it...

Hey Rodney - Thanks for the reply.

I did try that already and it gives me the same errors? It is really weird b/c everything is working fine, except for the errors. It is really strange - for example if I actually fill out the form and try to submit it, it will go through and generate and error on the last line of the code. But, if I just go straight to the code that submits the data, it give me a ton of different errors.

I am baffled? Plus, it does it on all of my .php scripts. That is why I thought it might have something to do w/ the php.ini.

Thanks for the reply!

Also, I just tried running the script through one of my other sites, that uses a different hosting company and it works fine and there are no errors???
