Some functions NOT DEFIND!

Hi,
Some functions not defined! Why?

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_GET_VARS
Notice: Undefined variable: dir_files
Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF

1. Try $_GET instead
2. Not sure about this
3. Shouldn't you be using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?

2. I'm guessing that's supposed to be an array key? After all, who puts underscores in their variable names, excluding PHP with their $_POST and $_GET, et cetera. (Hands up those who do!). Nonetheless, I assume it would be $data['dir_files'].

i think that its because you have 'register_globals' off, you can only access $PHP_SELF with register globals on i think.

use $_SERVER and other superglobals instead.

First off, its not functions its magic variables/arrays! =)

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_GET_VARS
This is due to register_long_arrays being off, use $_GET insted of $HTTP_GET_VARS or activate register_long_arrays (deprecated not recommeded!)

Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF
This is due to register_globals, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] insted or activate register_globals (deprecated and not recommeded!)

Notice: Undefined variable: dir_files
That not a PHP variable, its a custom variable in the script, the notice is generated in examples like the one below:

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach(php_uname() as $key => $value)

{

    /** Notice: Undefined variable: uname */

    $uname .= $key . ': ' . $value . PHP_EOL;

}

To fix such notices you need to define the variable before usage, in the example above we would have to put this in before we run the foreach loop:

PHP Code:


		
			
$uname = '';
