PHP 4.0 Bug #9679: undefined variable

From: emir_p@yahoo.com Operating system: W2K PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: undefined variable Warning: Undefined variable: currYear in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\calendar\month.view.php on line 29 this is the code that is causing this if(!$currYear) { $currYear = date("Y"); } I found some examples that have $variable++ but the variable is not predefined, and some other examples like if (!$submit) {} also give warnings "undefined variable"... On a couple of forums I've found the same problem, but no solution..is it a configuration problem or a bug???? People that wrote those examples did not seem to have those problems. thanks for help -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9679&edit=1
