Problem with the code below Works perfectly under Linux Fedora 9 however Under windows, the first page has an error <br /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined variable: ExercisePrice in <b>C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\new_black_scholes.php</b> on line <b>198</b><br /> stuck in the entry slot for every variable. I did correct the first slot with some PHP code! Is there a better way? <?php define( "ITMAX",100); define( "EPS",3.0e-7); // If the submit button has been pressed if (isset($_POST['reset'])) { $m_s = 100.; $m_e = 100.; $m_rf = .12; $m_sigma = .1; $m_time = 365.; Black_Scholes_Main($m_s, $m_e, $m_rf, $m_sigma,$m_time, $m_c, $m_p, $m_deltacalls, $m_deltaputs); $StockPrice = $m_s; $ExercisePrice = $m_e; $RiskFreeRateInterest = $m_rf; $InstantaneousVarianceRateStocksReturn = $m_sigma; $TimetoExpirationOption = $m_time; $ValueCallOption = $m_c; $ValuePutOption = $m_p; $DeltaCalls = $m_deltacalls; $DeltaPuts = $m_deltaputs; } elseif (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $m_s = $_POST['StockPrice']; $m_e = $_POST['ExercisePrice']; $m_rf = $_POST['RiskFreeRateInterest']; $m_sigma = $_POST['InstantaneousVarianceRateStocksReturn']; $m_time = $_POST['TimetoExpirationOption']; Black_Scholes_Main($m_s, $m_e, $m_rf, $m_sigma,$m_time, $m_c, $m_p, $m_deltacalls, $m_deltaputs); $StockPrice = $m_s; $ExercisePrice = $m_e; $RiskFreeRateInterest = $m_rf; $InstantaneousVarianceRateStocksReturn = $m_sigma; $TimetoExpirationOption = $m_time; $ValueCallOption = $m_c; $ValuePutOption = $m_p; $DeltaCalls = $m_deltacalls; $DeltaPuts = $m_deltaputs; } function Black_Scholes_Main($m_s, $m_e, $m_rf, $m_sigma, $m_time, &$m_c, &$m_p, &$m_deltacalls, &$m_deltaputs) { $m_c = black_scholes($m_s, $m_e, $m_rf, $m_sigma, $m_time/365., $nd1, $nd2); $m_p = $m_e / pow(1.+$m_rf, $m_time/365.) - $m_s + $m_c; $m_deltacalls = $nd1; $m_deltaputs = $nd1 - 1.; } function black_scholes( $s, $e, $rf, $sigma, $time, &$nd1, &$nd2) { $num = log($s/$e)+$time*($rf+.5*$sigma*$sigma); $d1 = $num/($sigma*sqrt($time)); $d2 = $d1 - $sigma*sqrt($time); $c = $s*myerf($d1) - $e * myerf($d2) * exp(-$rf*$time); $nd1 = myerf($d1); $nd2 = myerf($d2); return $c; } function gammln($xx) { $cof=array(76.18009173,-86.50532033,24.01409822, -1.231739516,0.120858003e-2,-0.536382e-5); $x=$xx-1.0; $tmp=$x+5.5; $tmp -= ($x+0.5)*log($tmp); $ser=1.0; for ($j=0;$j<=5;$j++) { $x += 1.0; $ser += $cof[$j]/$x; } return -$tmp+log(2.50662827465*$ser); } function gser( &$gamser, $a, $x, &$gln) { $gln=gammln($a); if ($x <= 0.0) { if ($x < 0.0) echo "x less than 0 in routine GSER"; $gamser=0.0; return; } else { $ap=$a; $sum=1.0/$a; $del=$sum; for ($n=1;$n<=ITMAX;$n++) { $ap += 1.0; $del *= $x/$ap; $sum += $del; if (abs($del) < abs($sum)*EPS) { $gamser=$sum*exp(-$x+$a*log($x)-($gln)); return; } } echo "a=$a too large, ITMAX = $itmax too small in routine GSER<br />"; return; } } function gcf( &$gammcf,$a,$x,&$gln) { $gold=0.0; $fac=1.0; $b1=1.0; $b0=0.0; $a0=1.0; $gln=gammln($a); $a1=$x; for ($n=1;$n<=ITMAX;$n++) { $an=(double) $n; $ana=$an-$a; $a0=($a1+$a0*$ana)*$fac; $b0=($b1+$b0*$ana)*$fac; $anf=$an*$fac; $a1=$x*$a0+$anf*$a1; $b1=$x*$b0+$anf*$b1; if ($a1) { $fac=1.0/$a1; $g=$b1*$fac; if (abs(($g-$gold)/$g) < EPS) { $gammcf=exp(-$x+$a*log($x)-($gln))*$g; return; } $gold=$g; } } echo "a too large, ITMAX too small in routine GCF<br />"; } function gammp($a,$x) { if ($x < 0.0 || $a <= 0.0) { echo "Invalid arguments in routine GAMMP<br />"; return 0.; } if ($x < ($a+1.0)) { gser($gamser,$a,$x,$gln); return $gamser; } else { gcf($gammcf,$a,$x,$gln); return 1.0-$gammcf; } } function gammq($a,$x) { if ($x < 0.0 || $a <= 0.0) echo "Invalid arguments in routine GAMMQ<br />"; if ($x < ($a+1.0)) { gser($gamser,$a,$x,$gln); return 1.0-$gamser; } else { gcf($gammcf,$a,$x,$gln); return $gammcf; } } function erfc($x) { return $x < 0.0 ?
