You should test first for the existence of the var before using it...
a better code would be:
<?php
@include("head.html");
if (!isset($_GET["game"])) {
@include("public.html");
}
?>
You should test for the existence of the var instead of using it's value
in a condition... otherwise you will get a warning for each that you use
without a previous definition...
Cheers...

this is due to 'register_globals' is off by default in php 4. this is for
security reasons. pls. use $game as $_GET['game']. alternatively you can
turn on 'register_globals' in php.ini (not recommended).

Subject: i need help with an undefined variable
I wrote a php script for a page that I hosted on a separate host and it
worked perfectly. I recently installed php 4 onto my windows XP Pro
build
2600 computer and it seems to work until I try to use varuables that
look to
the address bar for reference.
I wanted to make it so that when somebody clicks "game" it would go to
www.mywebsite.com/index.php?game=example and that would merely replace
the
body with the example page. It worked on my other host but when I tried
it
on my computer it says:
Notice: Undefined variable: game in C:\Xitami\webpages\index.php on line
5
Notice: Undefined variable: game in C:\Xitami\webpages\index.php on line
8
My script says:
<?php
include("head.html");
if (!$game) {
include("public.html");
}
if ($game != NULL && $op != NULL) {
include("http://mywebsite.com/example/"; . "$game" . ".html");
}
any ideas? please help. if there's any script i can type and have all
the
pages require it so that this can be defined that would work great.

Does anyone know of a way to get the number of bytes from a mysql field?

kieran, try this ...
$fieldresult = mysql_list_fields($some_database, $some_table);
$fieldcount = mysql_num_fields($fieldresult);
for ($my_counter = 0; $my_counter < $fieldcount; $my_counter++} {
$fieldsize = mysql_field_len($fieldresult, $my_counter);
echo "fieldsize = ".$fieldsize;
echo "<br>";
}
other useful field informatiomn functions are ...
$fieldname = mysql_field_name($fieldresult, $my_counter);
$fieldtype = mysql_field_type($fieldresult, $my_counter);

Here you may find a PHP class that does that. It even comes with
functions that emulate mail() using the sendmail program directly,
qmail-inject program or an SMTP server.

If your PHP is located to c:\php, you can do this way to configue httpd.conf
using apache 1.3.x
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
# To use PHP scripts
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Using apache 2.0.x
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
# To use PHP scripts
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
If it doesn't work you need to (fresh) install your apache (please do not
reinstall it over your old apache configures). Make sure you make a backup
for htdocs directory, and delete all other directories by yourself
(manually). Then replace back your htdocs to your new apache.
That's it.

Are you shore you database is running correctly at the time you are using
the script, beacuse I had a problemm with that too.
I changed my ini.php and after I changed it back, my mysql databse would
give green light (working) but when I toke a closer look, there was no
database to be found and so on.
I got the same message as you got.
