yoshida Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I just upgraded my old lamp to easyphp (the lazy solution) and found out that $_GET['pageid'] triggers a warning: Notice: Undefined index: pageid in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\apb\php\index.php on line 73How do I get rid of this? Or am I just stupid? I know the pageid should be defined before reading it, but I don't know how to do that and still make it trigger scripts (if $pageid=blabla {run this script;}) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleksanteri Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Are you able to use HTTP_GET_VARS[var]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleksanteri Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 What's your OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshida Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 WinXP. Thought php was cross platform?Anyway, I use a texteditor to write php (have created a 450 line index.php with multiple scripts, which are triggered by page id).EDIT: would it help if I use the switch function?

aleksanteri Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I was just thinking that could EasyPHP be changed with first- installing IIS from Settings \ Add and remove programs \ Add and remove Windows Components \ IIS- installing PHP binary and configuring it with IIS (included in installer)- installing MySQL from www.mysql.com but I don't know about configuring it, quess download just the binaryif it wouldn't be a problemThese links might come in handy: http://en.php.net/get/php-5.1.4-installer.exe/from/a/mirrorhttp://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4...2.zip/from/pickI needed the OS because if you were running for example Win98 like me, this trick would need PWS.It is important that you install the server first and select the same server from the list when PHP servers come.This trick worked on my Win98 when I downloaded PWS and PHP binary.

yoshida Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 My pc is just a test site, the final result will be uploaded to our domain. So I have no control over which php will be used. Besides, I'm trying to solve the problem not avoid it.What's HTTP_GET_VARS[var]? Sounds like something I want to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleksanteri Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Oh, yeah.You can use HTTP_GET_VARS[var] where var is var in $_GET[var].Short: HTTP_*_VARS[var] == _*[var]. * can be COOKIE, POST and GET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshida Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Guess what: my host seems to have 'dumbened down' their php. No errors there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleksanteri Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 So it's solved, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshida Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Solved...ish let's say it's not a problem anymore.Any way to validate php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skym Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 There's no validation in PHP, not like in HTML/CSS. There are editors which can check for syntax errors (like Zend) if this is what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshida Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 I use Crimson Editor, it uses code highlighting as showed in my crap-ified avvi. The parser itself is some kind of validator, but I don't know if version 4 is different from 5 in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This release combines small number of feature enhancements with a significant amount of bug fixes and resolves a number of security issues. Some of the key changes of PHP 5.1.3 include: Disallow certain characters in session names. Fixed a buffer overflow inside the wordwrap() function. Prevent jumps to parent directory via the 2nd parameter of the tempnam() function. Enforce safe_mode for the source parameter of the copy() function. Fixed cross-site scripting inside the phpinfo() function. Fixed offset/length parameter validation inside the substr_compare() function. Fixed a heap corruption inside the session extension. Fixed a bug that would allow variable to survive unset(). Fixed a number of crashes in the DOM, SOAP and PDO extensions. Upgraded bundled PCRE library to version 6.6 The use of the var keyword to declare properties no longer raises a deprecation E_STRICT. FastCGI interface was completely reimplemented. Multitude of improvements to the SPL, SimpleXML, GD, CURL and Reflection extensions. Over 120 various bug fixes. Further details about this release can be found in the release announcement and the full list of changes is available in the PHP 5 ChangeLog. A critical bug with $_POST array handling as well as the FastCGI sapi have been discovered in PHP 5.1.3. A new PHP release 5.1.4 is now available to address these issues. All PHP users are encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. Further details about this release can be found in the release announcement and the full list of changes is available in the PHP 5 ChangeLog. The tarballs were updated to include the PEAR's phar file, previously missing from the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Goat Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 PHP doesn't need to be validated. if it isn't valid, it throws an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshida Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 The newest Easyphp sure knows how to do that... instead of the oldfashioned 'let's just ignore that $pageid isn't defined yet' it now thinks 'let's inform the writer of this script that he is stupid'. There's nothing wrong with a parser not ignoring 'fishy scripts'. But then there should be a way to fix that, so that a milion people who adopted a certain method of working don't have to re-design their scripts.

justsomeguy Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 You should be able to set the level of error and warning reporting. You can set PHP to stop on all warnings or errors, or to log them and go on, or to ignore them up to a certain level.Most servers online ignore all warnings, and even ignore some errors, but sometimes it's better to have your development server report everything.

I guess I should convert the $_GET['pageid'] method to classes then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Not necessarily, you can just check it with isset() before you use it, that will avoid a warning being issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
