	$start =(!isset($_GET['start'])) ? '0' : $_GET['start'];
	$month =(!isset($_GET['month'])) ?
error_msg($lang['ARCHIVE_NO_MONTH_SPECIFIED']) : $_GET['month'];
	$year =(!isset($_GET['year'])) ?
error_msg($lang['ARCHIVE_NO_YEAR_SPECIFIED']) : $_GET['year'];

  In file: /modules/blog/control/approve_comments.php ,
