HTTP_SERVER_VARS

[egoo]

Hi,
I'm using PHP DESIGNER 2007, ver. 5.4. When I'm compiling the code below it appears PHP notice. Please, correct it so that it does not appears. Thank you in advance.

<?php
//create short variable name
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];// PHP Notice:
//undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS
$orders= file("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt");

$number_of_orders = count($orders);
if ($number_of_orders == 0)
{
echo '<p><strong>No orders pending.
Please try again later.</strong></p>';
}
for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_orders; $i++)
{
echo $orders[$i].'<br />';
}
?>

Use $_SERVER instead of the deprecated $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

Well, but now it is appear:
<?php
//create short variable name

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];//PHP Notice: Undefined index : DOCUMENT_ROOT
$orders= file("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt");

$number_of_orders = count($orders);
if ($number_of_orders == 0)
{
echo '<p><strong>No orders pending.
Please try again later.</strong></p>';
}
for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_orders; $i++)
{
echo $orders[$i].'<br />';
}
?>

That's rare: your server does not provide the DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable.

What version of PHP are you running? What is your web server software (including version number)? Are you running PHP as a CGI program, or say, an Apache module?

You should also provide the results of this script:

<?php
echo implode("<br />\n", array_keys($_SERVER));
?>

well, I have unzipped apache_1.3.27, but I'm afraid there is something wrong, so that's why I'm using PHP DESIGNER 2007 ver. 5.4. But Apache 1.3.27 HTTP SERVER is displayed in my OS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM in CONTROL PANEL>PROGRAMS AND FEATURES, so I hope it is Installed

PHP Designer is an integrated development environment, not a web server.

I suggest that you use the Apache 2.2 installer, then use the PHP zip archive to install PHP.

That's right about PHP DESIGNER 2007.I have already installed PHP5. When I run simple example it is work with PHP DESIGNER but with the example above there is problem.
