Module PHP assistance please :)

I stumbled across a E-Xoops module called E-Xoops tools, which is basically a collection of Javascript programs for webmasters - HTML to PHP Converter, HTML to ASP Converter,
HTML to Javascript Converter, CSS scrollbar maker, popup window maker, HTML editor, email encoder etc - 17 scripts in all, bundled as an E-Xoops module. Surprisingly, it works in XOOPS 2.06 without any modifications at all. It did have a list of PHP notices and warnings, which i've all but eliminated, except for one. I get the following PHP notice when PHP debug is turned on:
Quote:
Notice [PHP]: Undefined variable: func in file modules/exoopstools/index.php line 2809


It doesn't seem to affect the operation of the module at all. Line 2809 is:
Quote:
switch($func) {


I don't know enough about PHP to answer this, but how can the script function if a variable isn't defined?

I'd like to get this fixed so I can release the module as a XOOPS module. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps it's something that gets defined in the normal E-Xoops mainfile?

From what I can see this is a switch, what this means that $func could be assigned a variable from 1 to 10, but there will always be a default for this switch. So if $func is empty or 0 then it will use this defualt value.

ie

switch($func)
{

case 1:
do this;
break;

case 2:
do that;
break;

case 3:
default:
we will do this instead;
break;

}

So if $func is empty or doesn't equal 1 or 2 then it will default to 3.

edit: Surprised that it worked with XOOPS 2 but hey who cares as long as it does


Hope that helps

Catz,
Thanks for the quick reply.
That's exactly what it does do.

So, should I define it somewhere? Or just ignore it? :P

Wait, you could do a back trace to find out where it was defined (if it was) and it could be a register global problem. So I would check for them ok.

Talk later Bassman

Depending on how the variable is used, it could be a security risk to leave it uninitialized. But you'd have to examine the code closely to determine that.
