main

Dummy for main ()

There is no function named main() except in the PHP source. In PHP 4.3.0, a new type of error handling in the PHP source (php_error_docref) was introduced. One feature is to provide links to a manual page in PHP error messages when the PHP directives html_errors (on by default) and docref_root (on by default until PHP 4.3.2) are set.

Sometimes error messages refer to a manual page for the function main() which is why this page exists. Please add a user comment below that mentions what PHP function caused the error that linked to main() and it will be fixed and properly documented.

Notice: main() [function.main]: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition "<classname>" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in <filename> on line <line> You get this error if you have and object in your $_SESSION array and you call session_start() before you have loaded your included classes.
