Subject: Re: [FOSSology] Undefined Variables

Hi Ray,
Sorry for the late response.  I've been enjoying the holidays.  ;-)

The PHP notices are benign.   I have been trying to clean them up as I see 
them.  So thanks.  I'll take care of these. A quick fix is to configure your 
php.ini file to not report  them.  php.ini has a variable to set the reporting 
level called error_reporting:

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

You could  change this to:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

I'll fix the code tomorrow.

To understand the differences in the number of licenses, you have to compare 
which ones were found.   The new nomos scanner is much more accurate that the 
old bsam scanner, but there are differences in the way the licenses are 
reported.  So you really have to look at the two license lists to see if 1.2.1 
is missing something or 1.1.0 is reporting false positives.

Thanks,
Bob Gobeille

Hello All.

My users are comparing the 1.1.0 product to the 1.2.1 product by uploading 
files to each server.

They noticed a difference in the analysis of antlr-3.2.jar. To quote: "The old 
said there were 69 licenses id'd.  The new said 64 licenses were id'd."

During the test we noticed 924 "PHP Notice" events in the web server logs for 
"Undefined variable".

For example:
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: Max in /webroot/www/common/common-license.php 
on line 446,
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: Offset in 
/webroot/www/common/common-license.php on line 441,

Is there an easy fix for the undefined variables in the common-license.php file?

Would the "Undefined variable" cause the difference in the number of licenses 
identified?

Thanks,
Ray W.
