NEWBIE: Variable setting 1

[TheConeHead]

I have some code done by someone else (phpmyfaq - you may know it) that I am trying to understand... I have some variable that are being used that I have no idead where it is being set at:

The result is this:
<td width="16%" align="center" height="20" class="subnav"><a href="/phpmyfaq/index.php?sid=170&amp;aktion=search" class="subnav">Search</a></td>

The php looks like:
"msgSearch" => '<a href="'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?".$sids.'aktion=search" class="subnav">'.$msgSearch.'</a>',

I am wondering where $msgSearch comes from? Is it maybe being set on the server?

-*- Confused -*-

This looks like some kind of string constant. You might look in the configuration files for the script to see if it's being set there.

Thanks... configuration files? Would these be other php files? files on the server?

 

[sleipnir214]

Yes, these would likely be additional PHP files on the server's filesystem. They could have ".php" extensions or something else, though.

Look through the script from which your posted excerpt comes. Does it have any inclue(), include_once(), require(), or require_once() invocations?

You are the man ( or woman ) Yeah, I did look through the includes.... except one (and that was it of course... apparently this is something that can be viewed in various languages and there is an include for which ever language it is configured to...

Thanks!

(Man)

That's pretty typical. A lot of downloaded PHP-based apps are nicely internationalized.
