when I whant test these script than I get a error msg

Notice: Undefined variable: Submit in c:\wampp13a\htdocs\hp\hp_php\kontakt\index.php on line 9

and then I get the Formular

what must I do to define the variable Submit :confused:

is these script correct or are there mistakes???

[_E_]

I am running out of time, so i cant look at every single line you wrote. but just to make sure, i debugged the whole thing with Microsoft Script Editor and it doesnt seem wrong to me. Anyhow I think you got somewhere wrong in line number 9, but i cannot allocate the error either......:(

[snowbear]

yes i know that the mistake is in line 9 but how can I define these Variable ???

[_E_]

I cant say why this is happening isnce everytime i test it, i dont get any error message ( i know, thats really wierd) .

[snowbear]

i will try to test these Script on an other server. I have testet the script only on my Local WAMP Server

[Neojag]

hum, tested it on my local server, works ok (stripped the includes tough) :P

[snowbear]

So I have testet it on Tripod and it works Correct :)

So my server is **** :)

Neojag what server you are using on your PC????

[Neojag]

using OmniHTTPd atm :)

[snowbear]

you are right :)
I have install OmniHTTPd and it works thank you

[Nezzar]

Usually it shouldn't depend on which server you use but rather on the PHP configuration. Have you looked at the error_reporting-function in PHP?

[snowbear]

no i don't
but on omni httpd there are no errors in my script.

thank for your help.

I know what is the problem

Because of the latest release of php


please check your php version if it is the latest one you will see this error (Happen to me)

[snowbear]

Yes I know when I' am using Omni httpd with an older version of PHP I got no errors

but in my WAMP is an new version of PHP and there I get these errors

these is the problem with the register_globels isn't it?

Nezzar has shown me to go round these problem

BTW, there is another workaround to this:
