Need help with script

[php11980]

Kind of inherited this project and could use some assistance. The script below worked on a windows server running IIS and php 4. Upgraded server and PHP to version 5.5.3 and the script no longer works. Keep getting an error of undefined variable for the following lines of code:

 

  $name=strtoupper($name);

  $email=strtoupper($email);

  $sub=trim($subject);

  $problem=trim($problem);

 

Complete script:

 

<?php
  
  $name=strtoupper($name);
  $email=strtoupper($email);
  $sub=trim($subject);
  $problem=trim($problem);



  if (!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$", $email))
  {
    echo "That is not a valid email address.  Please return to the"
         ." previous page and try again.";
    exit;
  }
 
  $toaddress = "[email protected]";  // thelpdesk mail box

 

  
  
  $subject = $sub;
  $mailcontent = "Your name:<i> ".strtolower($name)."</i>\n"
		     ."Your email address is: <i>".strtolower($email)."</i>\n"
		     ."Subject: <i>".$sub."</i>\n"
             ."Helpdesk Request: <i>".$problem."</i>\n";
				 
  $emailcontent = $problem;
  

  mail($toaddress, $sub, $emailcontent, "From: $name<$email>");

  
?>

Any help is appreciated.

i recommend that you read all of the relevant php version migration sections in the php documentation so that you are aware of what has changed in php over time that will affect your code - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/appendices.php

As Mac_gyver suggested, but go back about 10 years in the documentation as your code looks as though it was relying on register_globals being ON and that was deprecated about a decade ago.
