WampServer

Hi,
I have recently installed your excellent wamp software so I can learn a bit more about php.
I have been using a very basic guestbook script for a while on a few different ISP's without any problems, but it doesn't work on my wamp install. The script doesn't even use a database but a text file to store the entries. If I enter something and hit submit nothing is added to the text file.
I have enabled E_ALL in php.ini and get the error Undefined variable:
Why would I be getting this error with the WAMP software and not any of my ISP's?
Thanks for any advice.

Firstly, there are 2 php.ini in wamp dir, so you might edit the wrong one; make sure to get it through tray icon. Secondly, short_open_tag is off by default that might cause your script not function as well.

Thanks for your fast reply.

Still no joy with short_open_tag = on

Any other ideas?

Always restart wampserver after editing any config file and also check error log to see what wrong.

Hi,
I did restart the services & the error logs just say the same ie

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: row in C:\wamp\www\............\readbook.php on line 16
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: row in C:\wamp\www\............\readbook.php on line 18

From my script

16= for ($i = $row; $i < ($row + 10); $i++)

18= echo $fileName [$i];

If you dont have any more ideas i'll try a different script.

Honestly, I'm new to php, too, so not sure which extension should be on to make it work.
But is it just 16 and 18 instead $16 and $18?

the reason why you are getting the Undefined Variable error for wamp and not your host is because you changed the setting error_reporting in your php.ini file to E_ALL which shows all php errors. you webhost has their error_reporting set to either E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE or E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT which only displays the more serious errors for security reasons, not your Undefined Variable error which php does not consider serious.
