Fix for Undefined Variable messages

If you are receiving, either in your error_log or on your screen, all kinds of Undefined Variable messages which are preceeded by Notice: then here is how to fix it.

These Notices are being displayed because the setting error_reporting in your php.ini file is set to E_ALL or some combination of E_NOTICE. While you may desire this while debugging, you certainly do not want this in a production environment.

If you have access to you php.ini file then you need to modify the error_reporting setting to read E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE . Then restart your server. Those messages will disappear. However, if someone else hosts your site, then you need to ask them to set you up so that your instance of PHP will have the setting changed to E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE. They may have to change it for everyone which would be a good thing anyway Wink

.

In the meantime, there is a way to fix KISGB. In config.php, addtogb.php, and upconfig.php, add this line of code as the SECOND line in each file.

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE);

Note the ; at the end. So, the first 2 lines of those files will now read like this..

Code:

<?


error_reporting(E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE);

I will modify KISGB in version 5.1.0 and later to include this, but for now, you will need to override it
