undefined variables

change error reporting

PHP:

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE );

It's just a notice so not a major error. Or you can predefine your variables: $a = '';

Click here for full thread: .htaccess auto append/prepend

Devilware.netHi all,

I'm setting up an .htaccess file containing the following directives:

php_value auto_prepend_file /path/prepend.php
php_value auto_append_file /path/prepend.php

However I would like to set up certain directories which do not automatically append/prepend these files.

I'm sure there's a directive I can use to make exceptions - but how?

Thanks in advance images/smilies/smile.gif

Codename49 Place another .htaccess in those sub directories with the prepend/append values set to some empty file.

pippo Place another .htaccess in those sub directories with the prepend/append values set to some empty file.

Better than that use:

/certain/subdir/.htaccess

php_value auto_prepend_file none
php_value auto_append_file none

Thanks,

) Andrea

Devilware.netThanks Andrea!

pippo Me neither :p,
I was looking at the C-source code of mod_php for other things and I noticed that :).

I use microtime() for doing PHP benchmarking.

$start = microtime();
... code goes here ..
$end = microtime();
echo "Blah took " . ($end - $start);

another version from wordpress

// functions to count the page generation time (from phpBB2)
// ( or just any time between timer_start() and timer_stop() )

function timer_start() {
    global $timestart;
    $mtime = microtime();
    $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
    $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
    $timestart = $mtime;
    return true;
}

function timer_stop($display=0,$precision=3) { //if called like timer_stop(1), will echo $timetotal
    global $timestart,$timeend;
    $mtime = microtime();
    $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime);
    $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
    $timeend = $mtime;
    $timetotal = $timeend-$timestart;
    if ($display)
        echo number_format($timetotal,$precision);
    return $timetotal;
}

magic quotes

<?php
if ((get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1){ 
    switch ($REQUEST_METHOD)
    { 
        case "POST": 
        while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)){ 
            $$key = stripslashes($val); 
        } 
        break; 

case "GET": while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_GET_VARS)){ $$key = stripslashes($val); } break; } } ?>
