Updated PHP and my script is not working right...

[TheJag]

What is wrong with my script. Worked fine on previous version of PHP and now doesn't sinc the upgrade. Here's my code:

<?php


$filename = 'pidlist.txt';
$lines = file($filename);

foreach($lines as $line) {$new_lines .= str_replace('    ',';',$line)."";}

$handle = fopen($filename,"w");
fwrite($handle,$new_lines);
fclose($handle);
?>

I get the error message:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: new_lines in /var/lib/pgsql/tidpid/nospacespid.php on line 8

It partially works, but puts in random blank rows in my txt file.

Any Ideas?

Just before your foreach loop, have you tried pre-defining the $new_lines variable:

$filename = 'pidlist.txt'; 
$lines = file($filename); 

$new_lines = "";

foreach($lines as $line) {$new_lines .= str_replace('    ',';',$line)."";} 

$handle = fopen($filename,"w"); 
fwrite($handle,$new_lines); 
fclose($handle);

Thanks, that worked. Newbie mistake. The previous version of PHP didn't catch that.

Actually what happened is that you changed your php.ini settings when you changed versions. Compare the options for error_reporting and you will see why the notices are being echoed.
