Status: Bogus
Bug Type: IIS related
Operating System: Win 2K
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
The "misbehaving" error is generated from working with notepad, then
saving the file:
myphpfile.php
What actually gets saved is this:
myphpfile.php.txt
Be sure to drop down the menu to All Files *.* to eliminate the default
.txt extension from be appended. Alternatively, enable viewing of
file-extensions and delete the .txt from the end of the file.
I cannot however figure out the "undefined variable" problem with
Windows 2000/XP. If you have a form and create a post action, the data
should be passed so that:
I should be able to use HTML like this:
<input type="text" size="5" value="" name="myvar">
And then use PHP in the same, or separate PHP file to reference the
variable with $myvar. This does NOT work with Windows. When this
variable is referenced in the code, an undefined variable error
results. Editing the php.ini file is NOT a solution, but does get rid
of the error (of course!) Instead of displaying the error, the data is
non-existent/empty/not displayed/inacessible.
I found a webpage that used the following to obtain all variables, so
the data IS being processed and IS accessible, but not as it should
be.
This code (found elsewhere) will list all variables and correctly
display their contents:
<?php
print "Posted variables: <br>";
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value)
print $key . " = " . $value . "<br>";
?>
I suppose one could use this as a work-around.
Any ideas?

this is not a bug, you are just using dlls from previous versions of
PHP. get the new dlls and overwrite the old ones. i just posted a note
about this under the Installation for Windows section of the Manual.

I was facing this problem when writing a code on the w9x Notepad and
modifying it by win2k editors or viseversa ... seems to be a problem
converting between unicode and ASCII.. in my humble openion (donno if
it's even right!) do it all on one editor.

I have the same problems with phpmyadmin producing a CGI error in both
panes after locking the anonymous IIS user out of the phpmyadmin
directory. I provide a credentials for a user with proper permissions
to that folder when accesssing it, but I still get the CGI errors. I
don't think it's reasonable to grany anonymous users access to this
administrative tool...
Any ideas?

I have W2k Server IIS5/PHP4
I was able to fix this issue simply by doing the following:
Open Internet Service Manager
Right Click Default Web Site (or any website using php)
Goto Properties
Click the HOME DIRECTORY tab
Click the CONFIGURATION button
Scroll down the list and select .php
Click Edit button
enable the CHECK THAT FILE EXISTS checkbox.
ok your way out.
This eliminated my problems with this error.
