Help with installation

« on: 04/15/02, 15:24 »

Help! I am trying to install this application on our website. I am following the instructions and I get this error when trying to go to the selectcard.php file in the browser window:
Warning: Undefined variable: ENum in E:\wwwroot\ecards\selectcard.php on line 8

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am not entirely sure what could be causing that error on that line or any part of the selectEcard.php file. Sometimes their are small difference's between an IIS/Apache and MS/Unix platforms but they usually deal with file permsissions and directory paths. In that file however their is not to much that can go wrong.

I assume you are using IIS - do you have PHP installed (I assume you do or else you would not even get that error). Have you made any headway since the post - and if so the more details you can provide the better.

Our web server is Windows NT. Our server administrator installed the php extensions for me the other day. Is there a good source on the web for instructions on installing php extensions? I still have not solved the problem. The way the error read, are you sure it is not in the script itself? Thanks for your assistance.

I would have to see the script - in some cases you get errors because of syntax mistake - other times you get them on a certain line because it's using a function or include file that does not exist or work.

Anyways If you could post the first 10-20 lines of that script here - i'll try to look it over for syntax errors.

Here is the code

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<TITLE>Here's your Flash Ecard - from the Flash-dB.com Tutorial</TITLE>

<?

switch ($ENum) {

   case '1':
   $goto = "Ecard1.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=1";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '2':
   $goto = "Ecard2.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=2";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '3':
   $goto = "Ecard3.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=3";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

Hey What version of PHP are you using.

Do you have Register Globals Turned on or OFF. You can check this in the PHP.ini file or by creating a script like

<?
phpinfo();
?>

I really wasn't that careful when i did the guestbook script and with the newer versions of PHP 4.1+ I think Register Globals is turned OFF by default.

When register globals is turned off you have to be a lot more careful about declaring variables and where their from, for example:

$Submit = $HTTP_POST_VARS[Submit];

Would make sure it's coming from POST. You need to use something like this for each of your variables if Register globals is turned off - Probably easier if you just turn register globals on for now though.

I checked: the globals are turned on. I ran the check php script on our server. The script results are at:
