Looking for some help.

[Cirga]

I am far from even knowing much about PHP to be honest.. and with that being said I am putting myself at the mercy of everyone here. I am actually hoping someone might be able to direct me towards a fix.

I am using the Mambo CMS... and trying to get a module to work fully. Its all open source.. and I just dont understand what this error message stands for. If anyone can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.

The Error message:

Notice: Use of undefined constant _SEARCH_TITLE - assumed '_SEARCH_TITLE' in /var/

http://www/vhosts/........./httpdocs/components/com_events/events.class.php

on line 636

Thank you in Advance!

it is usually when a user has frgotten to enclose an associative array key in quotes.

e.g
$array[key]
vs
$array['key']

php does not throw an error in these cases. it first assumes that key in the first example is a defined constant. if it cannot find a constant of this name it assumes that key is a string.

if this is part of the mambo codebase, search the mambo forums for a patch.

Thank you for replying jpadie. I took a look at the actual PHP file. and this is what I found.

function buildViewSelect($viewtype, $args) {
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_day', _CAL_LANG_VIEWBYDAY );
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_week', _CAL_LANG_VIEWBYWEEK );
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_month', _CAL_LANG_VIEWBYMONTH );
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_year', _CAL_LANG_VIEWBYYEAR );
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_cat', _CAL_LANG_VIEWBYCAT );
$viewlist[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'view_search', _SEARCH_TITLE );
$tosend = mosHTML::selectList( $viewlist, 'task', $args, 'value', 'text', $viewtype );
echo $tosend;
}


The line that has _SEARCH_TITLE is line 636.

There is no other instance of Search title in the document. Any idea if this is done incorrectly?

 

[jpadie]

it is asking for a constant but at the time that this script executes it appears that _SEARCH_TITLE has not been declared, hence the error message.

i would check any "included" file to see whether an include is failing.

as said, i would recommend referring this issue to the mambo support forum.
