Bugs

v0.4 Version 0.4 contains a couple of minor bugs which results in PHP notices filling the apache error log. The notices look like this :

[Sun Jun 01 17:04:40 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.100] PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant recaptcha - assumed 'recaptcha' in /var/www/html/gallery/modules/recaptcha/classes/ReCaptchaValidationPlugin.inc on line 75
[Sun Jun 01 17:04:40 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.100] PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: error in /var/www/html/gallery/modules/recaptcha/classes/ReCaptchaValidationPlugin.inc on line 75

This is caused by an old array syntax which you can read about here : [1] and an undefined "$error" array.

Here is a patch that fixes these bugs :
