Bug #3730 Warning: Undefined Variable
Submitted: 2000-03-05 00:45 UTC Modified: 2000-07-23 19:24 UTC

Script:

<? if ($coursecode) {
     // do stuff if this variable is passed through
     // the file ....
   }
   else {
    // if it doesn't exist do this ...
   }
?>

When I run this, it works fine -- until after a few hours of uptime.  One day it just started to start saying "Undefined variable coursecode in header.html".  When I rebooted the server everything worked fine.

The server has been up for 30 days, so I figured maybe the uptime had something to do with it (although everything else is working fine).  I might just install PHP 3.0.15 to compensate.

Same system, similair code works fine.  This ain't a PHP problem.

The fact that it cannot be reproduced on a given system doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

mikes@shafe.com:
Can you please let us know whether the bug still exists in more recent versions of PHP 4.0?  The uptime shouldn't have anything to do with it, most probably.

No user feedback.

This problem is fixed in the latest stable PHP 4.0 releases, so all is well. :)
