Error Message - Uploading Files

aaadee

147 switch($task)

149 {
150
151 case 'upload':
152 upload($the_file);
153 break;
154 default:
155 form();
156
157 }

Why is it displaying THIS error????

Warning: Undefined variable: task in c:\dev\intranet\news\easy-uploads.php on line 147

It works perfect but it obviosuly doesnt look right with an error msg. i try taking it out, the whole upload doesnt work!

The error reporting must be set to 15 (binary 1111) to give that error.

try putting "error_reporting(7);" somewhere before the line thats giving you the problem.

The reason you get the error is that the variable has not been initialized before it has been used.

The error reporting figure determines the type of errors to display e.g. to turn of all error reporting use "error_reporting(0);"

check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php for more information

you can also set the error reporting level in the php initialization file

I would say
<?PHP
error_reporting(53);
...
?>
why 53?
--We are excluding E_NOTICE and E_WARNING

all the rest is better to left untouched.
