PhP Error -- Probably an easy help.

Getting the following error:

[25-May-2011 00:32:17] PHP Notice: Undefined index: url in C:\arcgisserver\webroot\proxy.php on line 23
[25-May-2011 00:32:17] PHP Notice: Undefined index: method in C:\arcgisserver\webroot\proxy.php on line 26

The following lines of code are lines 23-26

$action = $_REQUEST['url'];

// Submission method
$method = $_REQUEST['method'];

Why would I be getting these errors.

Please, PhP Gurus!:o

You are getting the error because, at the time the script is running in those instances, $REQUEST['url'] and/or $REQUEST['method'] are not set. Whether or not they should always be set or not is a separate issue, which will require a decision on your part and possibly some additional validation code to avoid it. But if it's OK for them to not be set, then you can avoid the warning by doing:

$action = (isset($_REQUEST['url'])) ? $_REQUEST['url'] : '';
$method = (isset($_REQUEST['method'])) ? $_REQUEST['method'] : '';

The above will wet the variables to an empty string if the respective $_REQUEST element is not set. You could replace the empty quotes with a default value, if that would make more sense.

In this instance, they should be set; but for some reason they aren't when the page is accessed with an IP address. When accessed from localhost, these values resolve fine and the page loads as expected.

How could I go about finding out WHY they are not set in this instance?

Thanks so much for your reply!

You could throw something like this in there to see if anything is set at all:

<pre>POST:
<?php print_r($_POST); ?></pre>
<pre>GET:
<?php print_r($_GET); ?></pre>
<pre>POST:
<?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?></pre>
