Mambo Help? Notice: Undefined variable

[garygas]

I am managing a Mambo system for a friend and currently am getting a number of 'Notice: Undefined variable'.

 

This has only happened since their host upgraded to PHP version 5.

 

Has anyone had a similar issue? 

 

Thanks for any help!

Does the error tell you the file that produces that error and the line number? If so, can you post the code here?

I was supposed to do that but lost myself for a second...I suppose thats what happens when you try to do a million things at once!

 

1970: /**

1979: 		else {

1981: 			if (!is_numeric( $arr[$name] )) {

It was probably designed for Register Globals turned on.

Take this to the Mambo devs/forums please.

 

To disable these, just force PHP into more strict error reporting. This can be done with error_reporting() or an .htaccess file ( assuming apache )

I do not think the following is not needed

1987:             if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
1988:                 $return = addslashes( $return );
1989:             }

 

Seems out of place to me, definitely take it up with Mambos dev team.
