I have just recently installed apache and php into my system (win98).
The system test is ok....(showing php pages)
Now for the question...
I've created a form.. (rather cut and paste a form). This form works online
I have tested it myself.. but locally it gives me an error..
When my php page loads it tells me "Notice: Undefined variable" at line
whatever.. etc..
So what I've done it tested it online to see if it's the code...(full
knowing that code works..since it's a cut out from a tutorial showing it's
samples).. and it does work..
So the question is .. is there anything missing from my local server ???

Its just a warning. It tells you that you are using a variable which has no
value. Just ignore the notice, or turn down error reporting to exclude
notices.
All it means is that the variable of $test which you have included in your
script HAS NO VALUE. If you were to write something like
$test = "I Have A Value Now!";
then the 'error' message would disappear. Most of the time, you DO NOT WANT
to give a variable a value, such as when a user submits a form to your
script. The $Variables are filled by the user, not the php script. If the
user misses out a field, they would see the error message you mentioned.
To turn it off...
go to your php.ini
Search for
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Error handling and logging ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
and change the line which looks like (Make sure there is no ; at the start
of the line, if there is then its the wrong line to change!)
error_reporting = E_ALL
to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~(E_NOTICE | E_USER_NOTICE) ; display all errors
and warnings
This will make php only show the errors which affect the running of your
scripts, not the notices such as 'Empty Variables'
Hope this helps
Stephen

This probably has to do with one/both of two things:
1. register_globals is off (not a bad thing - just requires a tidbit more
code. see http://php.net/register_globals)
2. A variable is being called before it has been initialized.
Example PHP script:
<?php
echo $a;
$a = "Hello World";
echo $a;
?>
First you will get the undefined variable message, then "Hello World" (w/o
quotes). Leaving a variable uninitialized before you use it can be a very
bad thing. If your code uses that variable to do something and it's forged
by Joe Black Cracker (i.e. http://host/page.php?var=forged"; - not hard to do
at all) you could end up getting incorrect results or worse.
What can you do about this?
1. You can ignore the errors and make the reporting of them go away. Change
your Error Reporting in php.ini to a different level (see
http://php.net/error_reporting for the levels and what they do). Restart
your web server after this change is made (unless you use PHP as CGI, but
safest just to restart it).
2. You can initialize the variables in the script before you use them.
Example of 2:
<?php
$a = "";
//php stuff here
echo $a;
?>
Good luck and have fun.

Hello,
I'm using PHP 4.2.3 on IIS as an ISAPI module (for testing only). So
today I'm using my scripts just fine and then all of a sudden, require
stops working. It returns
Fatal error: Failed opening required
'C:/Inetpub/public_html/smarty/Smarty.class.php'
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Inetpub\public_html\index.php on
line 27
Everytime I try to require or include something it gives me the same
error. And it only gives it to me with that file. The same exact file
includes perfectly on Apache/Linux and other files include just fine. I
tried deleting the contents of the file and leaving only a <?php ?> and
it fails. I tried renaming the file and it fails. Like I said, all other
files work, but this one file doesn't, no matter what it's contents or
what it's name or where it's located in the directory tree or how many
times I recreate it in different places. I am stumped.
