PHP error

[axman505]

I installed php 4.3.dev the other day and now i get this error:

Warning: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0

i tried setting session.bug_compact_warn to 0, but it still had no effect.

i am runing php 4.3.dev with apache 2.0.43

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

sorry if i sound like a perfect idiot in PHP. the books make it sound so easy but when i run their example tutorials, i keep getting all sorts of errors.


Sleipnir, after changing the "bad code" as you advised, i got another error.


Notice: Undefined variable: count in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\tutorials\session_count_working.php on line 16

I don't see how you could be getting that error from my sample. It doesn't include any reference to a variable anywhere -- in other words, no "$count" Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

    echo &quot;<P> you been here $count times. cheers</P>&quot;;

should be changed to

    echo &quot;<P> you been here &quot; . $_SESSION['count'] . &quot; times. cheers</P>&quot;;
