just installed php-4.2.3-Win32 and have errors

ok, now, i know this is a register globals thing,,,but in the php.ini file it says now,,,

You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require register_globals to be on;

now, i have these errors:
Notice: Undefined variable: dbhost in c:apachehtdocsincconfig.php on line 28

Notice: Undefined variable: dbuname in c:apachehtdocsincconfig.php on line 28

Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in c:apachehtdocscomshopheader.php on line 7

and many more,,,,

since i have these errors, or notices, which i know i can hide with the error:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

and not only that, i left mine at
error_reporting = E_ALL

because i want to code php scripts with all possible, no errors,,, or notices,,,

is this possible, or should i just turn globals on, and do it that way?

What it is telling you is that those variables have not had a value assigned to them before you used them...you should assign some type of initial value to them..

as for the $PHP_SELF, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

ok, ,but for like these:

Notice: Undefined variable: dbhost in c:apachehtdocsincconfig.php on line 28

Notice: Undefined variable: dbuname in c:apachehtdocsincconfig.php on line 28

these are in my config.php and are for my database connection:

$db = mysql_pconnect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);

now why would those show up with that error?
i have like 9 of those errors on this line alone,, i just dong get it..

and thanks for the php_self info..

should i keep my register globals off then?

cuz like anyone, id like to try to become a great php programmer..lol

it does make things easier, but, i think to be the best, do it right..? what about register globals?

because the values you have set for $dbname and all the other 3 are not defined correctly or the database source your referencing does not exist

Using PhP 4.2.3 on IIS 5, I have a similar problem with an undefined variable error message in a much simpler context. The same code served from an Apache server and a different version of PhP works fine. I suspect configuration is the problem but can't find the cause.

MyCode:


MyQuery:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?contents=index.htm

Error:
Notice: Undefined variable: contents in F:inetpubWWWROOTmydomainindex.php on line 48
