<?
 switch($search)
 {
  case 'date':
   echo 'date';
   break;
  case 'people':
   echo 'people';
   break;
  case 'keyword':
   echo 'keyword';
   break;
  default:
   echo 'default';
   break;
 }
?>

Warning:  Undefined variable:  search in

Warning:  Undefined variable:  search in

if you ask me, I should get a warning on line 2 where the switch is, not on
4, 7, 10 where the case statements are.

php 4.0.5 cgi does not do this.

reclassified (This is not a "bug")

error_reporting has been set to E_ALL in your config.

Set to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE to prevent this warning, but the point is that $search has no value in your script!

Always var_dump your variables to see what they are first.

Not a bug -> bogus

Ignore my comments, I misread it. Sorry
