Re: there must be better way to handle "Null" undefined variables

if you read my original post you'd see that I already know this! I even inserted code to fix the problem. The problem is that the values of the variable THE FIRST TIME are undefined as shown by the code I inserted. I fixed the problem for one of the variables to make sure I perceived the problem correctly not being a html guru! The question is again "Is there a better way?" --- On Mon, 12/8/08, Daniel Brown <danbrown@php.net> wrote: > From: Daniel Brown <danbrown@php.net> > Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] there must be better way to handle "Null" undefined variables > To: fredsilsbee@yahoo.com > Cc: php-windows@lists.php.net > Date: Monday, December 8, 2008, 6:06 PM > For future reference, Fred, please only include the relevant > code, > not the entire script. > > On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM, Fred Silsbee > <fredsilsbee@yahoo.com> wrote: > [snip!] > > > > Under windows, the first page has an error <br > /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined variable: > ExercisePrice in > <b>C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\new_black_scholes.php</b> > on line <b>198</b><br /> > > This is just a matter of the INI settings > error_reporting and/or > error_display being different.
