Thanks for your reply. �I didn't write dialup_admin and I know little about php, so I
am only assuming the app is written correctly.
Yes, register_globals is turned on in php.ini by default. �I don't know how $config is
passed from file to file; that is part of my problem. �I am assuming it is a global
and that php recognizes it as such. �The .conf file gives me the option of using
sessions; I think I have tried it both ways with no good results.
The file user_new.php3 contains the following lines:
require('../conf/config.php3'); #This is the file that reads admin.conf and puts its
parameters into the $config array
require('../lib/defaults.php3'); #This file references $config
The file ../lib/defaults.php3 looks like this:
<?php
$ARR=file("$config[general_default_file]");
.
.
.
if (is_file("../lib/$config[general_lib_type]/defaults.php3"))
� � � �include("../lib/$config[general_lib_type]defaults.php3"));
Php doesn't like general_lib_type in these lines, referring to it as an undefined
constant even though it is set in the .conf file. �BTW, this code works if I replace
$config[general_lib_type] with the actual subdirectory where defaults.php3 lives.
�Doing this, however, just causes me to have more warnings further down the
application tree.
Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.
