Any ideas what PHP.ini setting is causing this error? Thanks, /Robert

I see no reason why the trouble would lie with php.ini. I'll bet it has something to do with undefined variables. But these are merely notices, not errors, so they don't explain why you never get to the bottom of the program. Have you patched statusimage.php yet to report mysql errors? (Display your sql statements while you are at it.) I posted the (GNU open) source here: http://johnhicks.org/statusimage.phps in case someone else on the list would care to look. --J

    I can't grok this easily since it looks like it's coming from a strange
    OS, but if I were you, I would begin by looking at line 52.

    Why do you think it works on the local site?  Is it access to
    MySQL?  Seems weird since the provcessing should still be server
    side on the MySQL stuff.

    I will see what I can find in the log.

It works if you are calling from the webserver that

    the chat
        program is

working so i feel it is some type of config problem or

        security issue.

http://www.hidho.com/chattest.htm is the page that

    uses the code

<a href="javascript:pophelp(' http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/client.php',500,500)

        <
    http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/client.php',500,500)>"><img src="

http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/statusimage.php

    <http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/statusimage.php>
        <http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/statusimage.php>"></a>
    and it
        works on

http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/chattest.htm

        <http://chat.siuprem.com/siupchat/chattest.htm> which is the
        windows IIS

sesrver where PHP is running. Do you have access to the source of statusimage.php? (I have a hunch it is checking the request's referer.) --J

        Since this is open source code ('phpOnline') available at
        http://www.dayanahost.com/phponline.cfm
    <http://www.dayanahost.com/phponline.cfm>
        <http://www.dayanahost.com/phponline.cfm>
        I guess it's safe to post an excerpt here:

        ...
        [a number of mysql statements without error checking or
    other exits]
        ...
        [concluding with:]

        header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");

        if($LastAdmLoginTime==0 || $LastAdmLoginTime<($TTime-120))
        {
               echo implode('', file('pathtooffline.jpg'));
               $OnlineStatus = 0;
        }
        else
        {
               echo implode('', file('pathtoonline.jpg '));
        }

        Since both of these images are present (i.e. can be accessed
        directly)
        and since there isn't any exit prior to the execution of
    the above
        statement, I conclude that the program must be erring out
    before
        it gets
        here.

        Check your php error log first. If you don't find
    anything there
        then
        edit the program to add error checking for all the sql
    commands.

        You might also find help at the phpOnline forums:
        http://www.dayanahost.com/forum2/index.php?act=SF&f=11&

    <http://www.dayanahost.com/forum2/index.php?act=SF&f=11&>>

        If you can't find the problem, since the program is
    short, you could
        post it to the list.
