here is a tiny piece of my script:

$history = "empty appointment filled ";
echo  " history: $history\n";

when it executes I get a PHP Notice
PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: history in 
/var/www/MP2010-v2/classes/cSchedule.php on line 108

however if I use:
$history = "xxx";
echo  " history: $history\n";

it executes fine.

To say I am puzzled is a vast understatement.
Yes, I did cut an paste from the script,
No, I did not include the other  200 lines.
If I paste it into a test script, it runs fine so it is obviously 
in the other 200 lines.

If I rename the variable "hist" I get the same error

THis is running from the command line.

any thoughts ?
