Shawn,
>That was it. Thanks John, ya saved my life. :-)
Glad I could be of assistance. The clue here was "Warning: ...". Now
undeclared variables and the like may not be fatal, but from years of
experience, I for one hate to use them.
Take for instance, $category. If I'm going to use that variable in my code,
I'd do the following:
if (!isset($category) || !$category) $category = 'somedefault';
or depending on the usage, maybe
if (!isset($category)) $category = '';
On the defined constants and quoting issue, give this code a run. It uses
PHP4's E_ALL constant, but you can test it under PHP3 with error_reporting(255)
instead. Without error_reporting, you might wonder why the output is blank.
Stick an error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top and it all makes sense:
--- error_test.php ---
<html>
<head>
<title>Error Reporting and Defines/Quoting</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
define(state, 3); // the run-time state of the application
// s/b 'state', or even better 'STATE'
// the code below also uses the state constant
$aSt = array('state' => 'Oregon', 'county' => 'Jackson',
'city' => 'Ashland', 'country' => 'US');
// default error reporting
echo 'aSt[state] = '. $aSt[state]. '<br>'; // s/b 'state'
// show all errors and warnings
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo 'aSt[state] = '. $aSt[state]. '<br>'; // s/b 'state' also
?>
</body>
</html>
---
The constant redeclarations scare me, I mean, it is a CONSTANT right? In PHP
I use constants, but consider them to BE of the form 'CONSTANT'. Then the code
change becomes if ('ONE_CONSTANT' || 'TWO_CONSTANT') instead of
if ((ONE_CONSTANT)) || (TWO_CONSTANT)). Not a huge difference, but I always
develop with full error_reporting. It's saved me on too many occasions.
Might be too many years of C programming, but there it is.
