Undefined variable error

[Newsgroup_User]

hi:

i've downloaded a site (developed by another programmer) to make some
modifications locally and i receiving tons of messages:

"Undefined variable: x in ... on line ..."

provoked by code like this:

if($x){
$y = true;
};

the site is working fine in the remote server (PHP 4.3.11) so i guess i
need to modify something in my php.ini (i already had to set
register_globals = On). or may be the remote server has just warnings
disabled?

localhost: OSX 10.4, PHP 5.0.4, Apache 1.3.33

tia,

jdoe

ok, the remote server has error_reporting = 2039 and mine is set to 2047
(E_ALL)

Although it's a pain to get rid of undefined variable notices, it's a
good policy. It makes your code more robust, and less susceptible to attack.

I've recently switched on E_STRICT as well. This alerts you to changes
that are likely to place in future versions of PHP.
