dguilloryjr Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 seems as if its not picking up what the edirectoy_root is? I know it took me a long time just to figure that out but hey i am still new to the PHP code! so any idea how to fix?

trq Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I was being sarcastic. You failed to show how this line... define(EDIRECTORY_ROOT, $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]); Was being included into the file causing the error. My suggestion would be to replace all instances of EDIRECTORY_ROOT with $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. There is simply NO POINT in trying to redefine a global constant like you have done.

dguilloryjr Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 ok well why would it work on the live site www.mysimbook.com that is on server a and live8081.com is the exact same site copied to server b Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49264-dev-site/#findComment-241411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Because most of your errors are actually just warnings. These will not stop execution, just warn about old / deprecated or poor code. Most likely your old server had lower error reporting settings. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49264-dev-site/#findComment-241414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dguilloryjr Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 ok well would it be ok to lower the error reporting on this server then? if so how would i do that? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49264-dev-site/#findComment-241417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 It would be better to fix the code that causes the warnings. Your dev server really ought to have the most strict error reporting available for this very reason. But yeah, you can play around with the error_reporting function.

dguilloryjr Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 there were only 2 pages that had this code in it, and this is the code in both the pages! /* we stop all error reporting as we check for all sort of errors */ error_reporting ( 0 ); set_time_limit ( 0 ); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49264-dev-site/#findComment-241420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 The error_reporting() function only effects the script it is contained in. You can (if available) change your error reporting setting globally with your php.ini. Chances are your so called dev server has its default settings set too low in regard to error reporting.

dguilloryjr Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 well there was a company that developed this or them, i am just creating a dev site on another server. so i just copied the files from server a to server b now i get this error, yeah it looks like they defined a global root as edirectory_root.
