Hi WAMP,ers :-)

Have a external poll plugin to my Osclass
which works 100% perfectly on my hosted On.Line server

But on my Off.Line local WAMP - it does not work,
I just get the following error message:

* Constant STORED_DATA already defined in
(and then with error reffs to many plugin files)
- -

I then asked the guy who wrote the plugin why ?
but he simply replied, that when it worked On.Line
(and also without problems on his local Apache server)
-
>>sorry then you have a problem with your wamp
- -

? I,m lost ?

Hi,

>>sorry then you have a problem with your wamp
NO, NO and NO!
There are some errors in the plugin, but the developer mask these errors in php.ini file.
It's still not complicated, before defining a constant to check if it is not already defined:

In development is a very bad solution to hide his own mistakes.

Hi Otomatic

You're probably right in your considerations,
but my problem is I,m webmaster, not coder,
so I,m is forced to believe in you guys.

But on the other hand, he also have a point,
It works on my hosting plan - but not WAMP local
Why this difference ?

I think this is part of the villain,
<?php define( 'STORED_DATA', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/poll_data/" );
but I can not solve the ..define.. puzzle,
- -

So I,m just sitting between two chairs (again) ha,, ha,, ha,,

Hello MigSel

Here is the nornal work around for this situation.

There is a parameter in the php.ini file that controls the display of errors generated by the PHP interpreter called 'display_errors'. It can be 'On' or 'Off' and it controls whether errors are displayed on the browser or not.


To get this code to run, you have to set it to

display_errors = Off

Good developers will have this turned ON so that they can See and FIX errors in their code, but on a live server you would turn it OFF as you do not want this information going to a user as it might expose too much information to a hacker. Obviously the developer of this code does not fall into this category.

Now WAMPServer is designed to be a primarily a developers tool, so it comes with this parameter turned on.

To turn it off, edit the php.ini file, using the wampmanager menus like so :-

wampmanager -> PHP -> php.ini

Find
display_errors = On

and change it to

display_errors = Off

Save the php.ini file, and then restart Apache

wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Restart Service


Unfortunately this does mean to see any errors while you are developing you will need to look at the 'php error log' a file that lives in the \wamp\logs folder

Dear RiggsFolly

many many THANK,s
I give a cold, next time you are in Copenhagen - ha,,ha,, :-)

I understand exactly what you and Otomatic expressed as pro coders,
but unfortunately we live in a ,,new-quick-world,,
where people almost always jumps over to cut easy corners.

You guys must have a nice day,
