goose,

.inc files are regular PHP files that are meant to be included using

aprelium,

then why cant i get the guppy portal system (that doesnt need mysql to run :) ) working when i comes to these files im getting offset errors when running guppy with abyss.?

and some variables are undefined aswell.

the guppy authors are not helping much.

i have solved some issues but not all?

scripts should work if the author has done there homework! :roll: not the user.

i also read in me php book that these files can be renamed to the extension .php which should improve things but no such luck. :roll:

goose,

Can you please describe in detail all the problem (the portal, the error messages, etc..). Without these information, it would be difficult to help you.

one example of an error is as follows:

undefined offset 7 in the following file log.inc

another is:

undefined variable fields : in fuction.php

etc.....

after some research

undefined offset means that an array you're attempting to use is trying to access an undefined offset. the offset is the number between the brackets of a variable
$foo[0]="test";
0 being the offset
so if I had in my code

$foo[0]="test";
print $foo[1];

i would get an undefined offset error

hope that helps...

so your saying that the offset has not been defined if the number 0 has not been declared?

so how can one define a number ?

my knowledge on this is simple

define goose = 0;

0 is placed into goose then goose can be used like so:

$foo[goose];

print $foo

this should give 0 :)

hmmm you would get the error coz you moved up the array and 1 has not been declared right? :?: :wink:

if I had
<?
$foo[0]="apple";
$foo[1]="pear";
$foo[2]="banana";

print $foo[0];
print $foo[1];
print $foo[2];
print $foo[3];
?>

then it would give me an offset error because $foo[3] isnt set
