    PHP Configuration Problems

    Hi

    I have been successfully running db driven websites on my ISPs webserver
    using PHP Version 4.2.3.for a while now.

    I am now experimenting with running mysql/php on my lap-top so I can access
    these sites without being connected to the internet.

    I have downloaded the latest binaries for MySQL and PHP and they are running
    on the laptop with IIS5.1.

    However, when I use the code that was running correctly on my ISPs webserver
    on the LOCALHOST...

    $logged_on_memb er_id=$_SESSION['s_member_id'];
    $logged_on_memb er_name=$_SESSI ON['s_member_name'];

    Throws up the following error messages...

    Notice: Undefined index: s_member_id in membervariables .php on line 2
    Notice: Undefined index: s_member_name in membervariables .php on line 3

    What have I done differently/incorrectly/badly???

    TIA

    Mark

      If this is bad or not is a matter of taste....
      I usually try to avoid warnings and notices in my code
      which sometimes can result in few lines of code more
      but at least I know exactly what is going on.

      What is different is that your localhost is set to display
      notices and warnings while your ISP is not...

      Check your php.ini directive error_reporting .

      Tomy.

          Thanks for your reply Tomy

          This solved many of my problems.

          I also had to set register_global s to ON to get the site working properly.

          I hadn't realised my code was so sloppy

          Thanks again

          Mark

              No problem.

              I'd advice against it since it defaults to OFF in new PHP versions
              and ISPs shall probably tend to leave it that way in future.

              Moreover global variables are a BIG NO NO in any structured programing
              language :). Yes, maybe, also a matter of taste :).

              Tomy.
