The following script works in Apache but not in IIS

<?
  if ($test=="testval") { print("Success"); }
?>

Apache treats the variable $test as a null variable but IIS throws a error:

Warning: undefined variable test in [script] in line 2

Depending on what follows, it will usually output something like what you were testing for/wanted except that it has the error in front of it.

This is with the standard PHP windows installer.  CGI version.

I bet the Apache box has error_reporting E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE while the IIS box has error_reporting E_ALL.

RTFM, please.

(if this ain't the case, reopen the report)

error_reporting E_ALL.

How can I check this or set it the same as Apache?  Both versions of Apache and IIS are the default installations, so nothing to my knowledge has been modified in this area.

Well, you probably used php.ini-dist for Apache, and php.ini-optimized for IIS. Either way, send further questions to php-general@lists.php.net or php-windows@lists.php.net.
