Undefined variable problem
yikes, this is a bit of a mess.
I'm moving my sites to a new server. The new server has php5, (my old one just php4), but I can run sites through php4 via cgi.
On one of the scripts I am trying to run on the new server (using php4 for now), goes like this:
-------
if (!$loc){ //start if
$time='<FONT COLOR="#223D75" STYLE="font-size: 13px">- time will appear here -</FONT>';}
--------
I'm getting an error like this:
---------
Notice: Undefined variable: loc in /home/mysite/public_html/d
--------
What do I do about that? I mean, my whole 'if' test is to see if it has a value, and if it doesn't, do such and such.
Do I need to write this differently, or change something in php.ini (it worked on my old server), or is there something else?
Thanks, Chris
ps: the goal is to get all my sites php5 compatible, but I put them on php4 for now just to get them going so I can work on them. I did try this site on php5 and got lots of errors, so I backed off and just going to try the smaller issues until I get everything moved.

I didn't get an answer from that page, per se, but it did lead me down the path of investigating .htaccess more closely, and I realized that I had
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .html .htm
in .htaccess, and:
AddHandler php4-script .php .htm .html
in the httpd.conf file (to get the php4 cgi working).
Wondered if that might cause some problem, so I took it out of .htaccess and voila, things are working :)
So thanks for getting me going in the right direction!
