Re: [PHP] NEED HELP URGENTLY

[Leif K-Brooks]

First of all, you don't need to type in all caps like that. I thought this was the Nigerian Scam for a minute there! :-) Anyway, in PHP 4.2+, the php.ini setting register_globals is off by default. You'll need to either turn it on, or start using the newer $_POST superglobal array. For more information, take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php.

I SETUP THE PHP PARSE ENGINE ON ABOUT A YEAR AGO ON ONE OF MY WEB SERVERS
AND EVERYTHING WORKED JUST FINE. I, HOWEVER, RECENTLY ACQUIRED A NEW SERVER
AND TRIED TO SETUP PHP AGAIN ON IIS 5.0 ON A WIN 2K SERVER PLATFORM.
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY, BUT FOR SOME REASONS WHEN I TRY TO
ACCESS ANY VARIABLES PASSED FROM A HTML FORM, I ALWAYS GET AN ERROR.

FOR EXAMPLE IF I HAVE A FORM THAT PASSES THE VARIABLE $ACTION I GET THE
FOLLOW ERROR WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS THE SAME VARIABLE IN PHP PAGE:

Notice: Undefined variable: action in C:\...\otelzoo.com\cust_care.php on
line 9

I HAVE REINSTALLED THE PHP PARSER THREE TIMES NOW AND I HAVE HAD NO LUCK IN
GETTING RID OF THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW MOST PEOPLE WILL JUMP TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT THERE IS A SIMPLE ERROR IN THE ACTUAL SOURCE CODE ITSELF, BUT I PROMISE
YOU THAT I HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMING IN THIS LANGUAGE FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS AND
I AM 100% SURE THAT I AM PASSING THE VARIABLE CORRECTLY.

PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU.
