Re: getting funny error on working page

Thanks! My guess is the production server has this set correctly and I will follow your advice. However, how would one do away with this error? What would I do to guarantee an string being returned instead of a date? What can I wrap the date() function in? $month=substr($thisdate,0,2); $day =substr($thisdate,3,2); $year = substr($thisdate,6,4); $d =date("M d (D)",Mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)); Again, thank you!

That means the issue has always existed, it was just never displayed. While you should make every attempt to fix every issue, notices are generally safe to ignore without any serious consequence (keep in mind, I say, "generally"). So you can update your php.ini's error_reporting variable to the following: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE .... and then restart IIS (which is what it looks like you're using, based upon path). -- </Daniel P.
