Easy One: Is This A Syntax Error
I get thousands of messages logged on my servers error log that for example say:
[Mon Jan 16 17:59:49 2006] cp-app.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in string at /hsphere/local/home/phunter1/canineconcepts.co.uk/cgi-bin/ccp51/library/common/display.pl line 546.
Line 546 has the following syntax:
Code:
return "$$var";
Is this a simple syntax error and should only have one $ sign or is the problem more complex. It not causeing any problems, but if you have any thoughts ...

Re: Easy One: Is This A Syntax Error
No, it's not a syntax error. It's part of a subroutine/function that creates a variable name from a literal string...just part of the way things work.
My guess is that maybe you are using a CGIVAR somewhere for a variable that doesn't exist. It may (I'm not sure) show up somewhere as an error message embedded as an HTML comment in the source of the affected page. I'd surf around your site doing "view source" on various pages and see if I saw anything. If you've done any mods, those would be suspects.
Like you say, other than cluttering your error log, it's just a nuisance -- it isn't fatal. Still...
Good luck,
Dave
