<a href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>">

Hi,

you should use something in between start and end of href tag like:

<a href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];?>">something</a>

HTTP_HOST is not always defined in some cases...

do a var_dump on $_SERVER to check what is getting populated.

hi Manavsi,
Thaks again..! for replying me

doing var_dump on $_SERVER It gives output that HTTP_HOST is already defined and also HTTP_REFERER is set too.

anyway..
From some where I found to do that,

Those messages 'PHP Notice' are not error messages as such.

Edit php.ini file and find this line

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

This will turn off notices but still show any errors.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for you support Guys..

manavsi

hey i dont get it... though its still a notice.. ur purpose of getting the value from the HTTP_HOST will not work right...???

Tell me if i'm right or wrong???

heyyyyy Manavsi

no my purpose was that why I am getting those type of error messages..?
what is the reason behind it?

how do I Solve this problem and avoid to get those error messages?

shobinsun

Hi,

// how do I Solve this problem and avoid to get those error messages?

Ans: you need to set your php.ini file to not display notices. displaying warnings and errors, but not notices is the most typical setup and what most people code for.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

also, if you still run into problems, you may have to turn on register_globals. it's not as secure as having it off, but again, most servers are setup this way:

register_globals On

once you have made the changes in your php.ini file, restart your web server

Hi,

You can use another option:

try:

getenv('HTTP_HOST')

Instead of

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

Regards

BrianMM

it also could be due to Apache version... if you are using apache there is an intermittant bug in older versionf of Apache that cause it not to be set but as above post should get it from that... getenv() that is if $_SERVER does not work...
