After Re-Reading my last eMail, I've seen, that I wasn't very clear with 
my tips, so I try it a second time ;-)
Please open your file /etc/php4/apache/php.ini (or search for an 
alternating place, if the php.ini isn't in there, but this is the 
Debian-Standard-Location).
In there are two Options, which are the interesting ones:
1. register_globals = on|off (for more information, see 
http://www.php.net/register_globals)
If this is turned to "off", your phpMyWebhosting in V0.2.2 will not 
work. If you can do it without hassle, switch it to on, and your pmwh 
will work fine - but beware! this *can* ge a security hole.
2. To check, whether you really have the mentioned problem, you can 
change (in your php.ini) error_reporting = E_ALL.
IIRC the default is error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE.
If you change this value to the mentioned E_ALL (write it all in 
Upper-Keys!) and register_globals is set to "on", on the start-page for 
pmwh you will see some errors like:
*Notice*: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in 
*/your/www/home/phpmywebhosting/include/settings.php* on line *3.

*If you see this error, than you should do the No1, and the Error should 
be temporarily fixed.

Don't forget to restart your Apache, that the changing of the php.ini 
will take effect.
*
*As mentioned in my first mail, there will be bugfixes for this in the 
next release.

HTH
Manuel
