I believe at this time the servers of my web host were all down. Any zip's from the domain should work now.

As a PHP newb, I leave full error reporting on, and running poll mod 0.2, I get a lot of "undefined index" warnings. So:

1) Is it common practice to ignore these warnings?

2) I got rid of many of them by replacing stuff like if( $_POST['blah'] ) with if( isset($_POST['blah']))... is that correct, or is there a different way to do that?

3) The only ones I couldn't get rid of were when creating a new poll - got undefined index for 'subject', 'body', 'thread', and 'parent_id' in post.php, from lines 218-221. I didn't feel comfortable modifying a main chunk of Phorum code, and didn't know how to fix this from within poll.php. Any suggestions?

Thanks very much!

Oops - never mind on #3 - that was my own error, caused when I was trying to get rid of some of the other undefined vars. Still wondering about #1 and #2, though...

no but you can easily miss them if you don't have error-reporting on

nearly correct. replace it with:
if( isset($_POST['blah']) && !empty($_POST['blah']))

(you need to check the content too, not only the existance.


Please post a corrected mod if you are finished with it.

Of course - but i you russian language, so I created file russian.php and restart the module - module is work but lang file doesn't work (i so it because if i write not languages variables but words by myself everythung is work)

if the name of your lang-file is the same as your phorums lang-file it should work.

Check web server error log if there's a problem with the lang-file bein broken or something?
