Undefined variable errors

Anon

Hi guys,

I've installed PWS on Win 98 SE (quick and dirty site prototyping machine).

I've also dowloaded and installed the PHP 4 zipped i386 binaries for Windows.

Installation went without a hitch but I can't browse PHP pages without getting undefined variable errors.

I downloaded several PHP scripts and sample apps, and all of them generate this error.

Have I missed something?

REgards,

James.

There's an option in the php.ini file - error_reporting - which will get rid of these. You need to set it so that it does not report notices.

Hey Danny,

I've found that partucular switch in the config file and have adjusted it.

I get fewer errors now but I still cann't get php scripts to run correctly.

timesheet.php, php classifieds, mambo, stutter, gorilla gab, php web chat... and several others I can't remember (all from hotscript.com) fail to work.

In the case of stutter (I think), the php script wants to create a *.php file containing an admin user within its /amin directory. PWS paintes the page correctly and askes for a password in a pretty on screen login screen. The script should then write the password file but does not it just stalls.

Yet if I launch this stutter application and ignor the admin bit altogether, I can register as a user and even add and edit the user profile (both *.php files

So... php kinda works (it can generate pages), but when code is used to do something useful (file access) it dies

Oh... I have set the various directories to include execute from PWS.
