Error Message - Need help troubleshooting

Hello List.

I have some JS code that open a new window with a contact form in it.
When the link is clicked to open the new window, I will get the
following error SOMETIMES:

"Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-
effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the
session extension does not consider global variables as a source of
data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this
functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or
session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0"

My JS code with a bit of PHP in it looks like this:

function loadOSS()
var oss_itemid = "";
var loadOSS = window.open("my_url/my_file.php?iid=" + oss_itemid, "",
"scrollbars
=
no
,menubar
=
no
,height=600,width=600,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,s tatus=no");
}

As I said above, the error message does not always appear.

Is the error due to the fact I am JS & PHP together?

Any help in understanding what I am doing wrong is appreciated.

The rest of the JS is as follows:

.....a href='javascript:loadOSS()'> width='161' height='57' align='right' />Open Window...

As far as other PHP goes, the whole page is PHP so I wouldn't know
where to even start. My guess was that the problem was originating
from the previous code I sent over, but I don't know enough PHP to be
sure.

No it works fine. The most annoying thing in making it difficult to
to troubleshoot is this message does not always appear.

If there is a genuine problem, that won't actually fix it though.

How is $item_id created? You've not shown that in your PHP script
examples.

k, add to your script,
to prevent the error from showing.

// parse item id from the url
$refer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$thispage=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$item_id=substr($thispage, -9);
$item_id=substr($item_id, 0, 5);

$_SESSION['item_id'] = "$item_id";

The above is where item_id is created and added to a session.

The important thing is that this error never showed up before until I
added the Javascript link below:

var oss_itemid = "";
var loadOSS = window.open("http://www.myurl/myfile.php?iid=" +
oss_itemid, "",
"scrollbars
=
no
,menubar
=
no
,height=600,width=600,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,s tatus=no");


When I was testing initially, I had removed the variable above in the
link with a hard coded value and I never received this error. Only
when I made it dynamic did this error appear.

Thanks for any help.

I'm assuming then that both the Javascript an the PHP code you have
above are both on the same page. The only way I can see your problem
occurring would be if your javascript part was on a different page and
you were attempting to output the $item_id. If PHP could not find a
variable with that name, it may be reverting to using the item_id value
found in $_SESSION, which would give you the error you're seeing.

Try changing the line to

var oss_itemid = "";

and see if that gives you the error.

Re: Error Message - Need help troubleshooting

I do not know if the question has been answered, but how are you opening
the session? Are you using session_start() or are you using
session_register()?

Yes this is the case.

However, what you said brings up a point if interest. The page that
the link is bringing up contains the following:

if ($_GET["iid"]=='') {
$item_id = ($_SESSION["item_id"]);
}
else
{
$item_id = $_GET["iid"];
}

This code determines if the user is getting there from the initial
link and if so, sets the variable item_id to the value passed in the
URL.
Again however, this was not returning errors when the link was
hardcoded with a value in place of item_id.

Hi Joseph.

It is created via:

session_start();
