PHP 3 -> 4 Migration Problem

[php4user]

Just installed PHP4 (Win98, Apache) with the auto Installer, and it appears to be a successful install (can use phpmyadmin, can see phpinfo.php file). But something is wrong somewhere.

My scripts that worked under PHP3, don't work anymore under PHP4. Example: When I submit variables in a form to script A, I get an "undefined variable" error. Script A does not recognize the variables coming to it. I have not changed the scripts, and they worked just fine under PHP3.

What has happened here? Can someone help please?

"undefined variable" errors ...
you can suppress these by changing this line in your php.ini

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

into:

error_reporting = E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE

AND you'll need to set

register_globals = On

in php.ini, as well.

don't forget to restart the web server afterwards!
