Getting this error alot lately… not sure why… any idea’s…
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: escape_data() in /var/www/html/new/12/html/login.php on line 19
Tell us more about the origin of the script you are running.
Well now that i look around it looks like alot of the scripts im working with here dont work have all the functions with this book im using. Im running a redhat 7.3 with apache 2.0.40 and php 4.2.2.
The called function is a user defined one. The error is either a typo somewhere or the file containing the function is not included. The server configuration has nothing to do with the problem.
Well the reason i think its all server related is cause i have some other scripts that arent working
[php]
Script 1.6 - predefined.php
// Echo the script name.
echo “You are running the file $PHP_SELF.
n”;
// Echo the user’s information.
echo ‘You are viewing this page using:
’, $HTTP_USER_AGENT, '
from the IP address ', $REMOTE_ADDR;
?>
Is also not working… Its not showing any of the data that it should be showing. Unless there is a setting i have turned off?? Any idea’s?[/code]
Oh great, an age old problem… I thought we were finally done with that one…
Read the PHP 4.2 release note, the problem is explained in there.
ok cool i got that taken care of but still getting that error when trying to get these series of scripts to run. Basicly im trying to make a registration page then login page. After the user hits register i get that error. heres the registration page code

Is this cause of the global variables are still in the old code?
