Question

This script works online but not offline via WAMP…

function current_user()
    {
        static $current_user;
        if(!$current_user)
        {
            if($_SESSION['userID'])
            {
                $userID = intval($_SESSION['userID']);
                $query = "SELECT * 
                          FROM `users`
                          WHERE `id` = $userID";
                $data  = mysql_query($query);
                if(mysql_num_rows($data))
                {
                    $current_user = mysql_fetch_assoc($data);
                    return $current_user;
                }
            }
        }
        return $current_user;
    }

When this function is called, I get the following error message…

Notice: Undefined index: userID in C:\wamp\www\alpha\_includes\session.php on line 38

Line 38 is $userID = intval($_SESSION['userID']);

The error only occurs when the userID SESSION variable isn’t set. That and when the function is called via a page from my offline testing computer (running WAMP).

Answer 1

You have notices enabled on one server, but not the other. This notice is just telling you that are attempting to read an array element that doesn’t exist.

Instead, try this

if(isset($_SESSION['userID']))
