AW: [PHP-WIN] Re: Subject: FOpen problems

Hi Will, you might want to take a look at http://www.php.net/register_globals There has been a change in default behaviour concerning this option: Prior to this option the default was like having this option ON. Early Versions of PHP4 equally defaulted this option to ON. Newer PHP versions for security reasons default this option to OFF and strongly recommend keeping it OFF and changing the scripts instead. Maybe the two environments you use differ at this point. As to your implicit question: PHP always initializes variables upon first use to some appropriate kind of emptiness: 0, "", ... and issues the complaint you see. Good programming practice just always has the first occurrence of a variable to the left hand side of an assignment, so to have an _explicitly_ defined start value.
