[Pmwiki-users] "Undefined index: host" error when creating new pages.

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Ah, this is a problem that only shows up when PHP is configured to report
all errors (including warnings, via the E_NOTIFY value) -- most PHP
installations aren't configured this way by default.  I generally test
things with E_NOTIFY turned on so that I can catch this error, but
every so often one slips by.

The problem is that new pages don't have a value set for 'host', which
is the address of the host that last edited the page.

I'll fix the warning in 0.5.25--in the meantime, you can eliminate the 
warning by adding the following line to local.php:

   error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

This simply turns off E_NOTICE warnings and doesn't affect PmWiki's 
operation.
