Does Snoopy have some kind of configuration file that needs to be set?
It almost seems like the variables are not coming through, which makes
me wonder if Snoopy assumes that the posted variables are
automatically becoming global variables. If so, check to see if
register_global s is set in the php.ini file.

Re: Need help with Snoopy class function

i have been reading everything that i can get my hands on, and have
fixed alot of problems, but i am still getting this error msg:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: query in
c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\gasearch\de v\test files\snoopy
stuff\Snoopy.cl ass.inc on line 147

along with a few others. but primarily this one and the same error
for line 132 (same file) Any time snoopy.class.in c uses the "scheme"
it gives an undefined index error....i am really going crazy....I am
assuming that this must be a problem on my computer, because after
reading all the group postings that i can find that discuss snoopy,
lots of ppl use it. are there any changes that "must" be made in the
varible settings and/or php.ini....if somebody can, please help.

An undefined index error normally means you're doing something like
this:

$howManyUsers = $userInfo["userCount"];

when no value has ever been placed into the "userCount" index of the
array $userInfo.

See anything like that?

that is exactly what is see, but it is in the code of the class
function, and everybody else in the world seems to be using snoopy
successfully... .i am thinking that maybe there is a setting in my
php.ini file that i have incorrectly set...if anybody out there is
willing, i would love to take a look at somebody php.ini file that has
ran snoopy successfully. i know its asking alot, and is probably not
the most security minded thing to do, but i have nobody that i can go
to for immediate help, and would just like to know for certain that my
ini is setup right.

My guess is that most PHP coders don't code with error_reporting set
to all. They should, but they don't. I don't code with error_reporting
on max either, instead I set it there when I'm debugging.

Change your error reporting level to make the error messages
disappear. Or, better, edit Snoopy so that the line that generates the
error is wrapped in an if (isset($dog["color"])) block.
