Apache Friends Support Forum

I am finding, on my XAMPP, that I get an error if I use a variable without setting it up first with something. However, I do not get an error online. I am using your version 5.3.8. My Provider's online version is 5.2.17.

Is this something new for this later XAMPP PHP version?

Hi Coastalguy,

No. Your hoster (and many others) just set some configuration to prevent many support requests because of sloppy programming styles. They just hide such messages.
In your development environment you shouldn't hide such messages but get rid of all of them. Some sloppy programming styles can produce other errors or security issues.

Althrea,

That's what I have been doing, but I was just curious if it was a version change or just my coding. Thanks again,
