Hello, I'm new here and kind of new to PHP. Let me explain my problem.

I'm trying to use a PHP web site counter for my site. I am serving it myself from my machine, and it's all configured to be a server (it's running Windows 2000 Pro). I have installed PHP, and installed phpBB2 forums which are fully functional. But now, it seems when I want to install a PHP application (I'm currently trying to install EliteStats: http://firestorm.all-interviews.com/?act=elitestats) I get a long list of errors, such as:

Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0. in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\stats\include\functions.php on line 33

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 767 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\stats\include\functions.php on line 126

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 279 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\stats\include\functions.php on line 126

The last error will continue to repeat for pages. The program seems to work, but I get a ton of these annoying errors that I never got when installing my phpBB message boards. Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks for any help.

Contact EliteStats directly or check their forums

Might want to check your php.ini -- I think the default is to report everything except for E_NOTICE. You could always modify the script:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

As the log state, thoses are notice level message. It's the PHP engine that is configured to give you every little message that the PHP engine had to make an assumption. This is good on a dev server, but should never bee enabled on production. You can safely ignore them, they nothing more than indication than the code works, but that PHP had to "guess" something to make it so.

I would be more concerned about the "warning", on the first line. This means that the error was not fatal, but that something went wrong. In that case, the PHP engine did not found a file that was specified. It's not fatal, but trying to read the content of a non existent file causes this warning.
