For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Notice: Undefined index: error in script

Posted by Chris_Isaac (Chris Isaac), 16 January 2006
Hi

I've got the following script, which does do what its supposed to:

Code:
<?php

$pass=$_POST["password"];
$expdate=$_POST["expdate"];

include ("pass.inc");
if ($pass=="$password"){

Include ("connect.inc");

$sql="Select name,expire from hotel where expire < \"$expdate\"  ";

$rs=mysql_query($sql,$conn);

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
     echo ("Establishment : " . $row["name"]. "   Expiry : " . $row["expire"] . "<br>");
     }
}

?>

<h1>This form is used to generate current expired featured listings.</h1>
<h2>Please enter the following information to continue</h2>
<form method="post">
Password : <input type=password name="password">
Expiry Date : <input type=text name="expdate">
<input type=submit value="submit">
</form>


Question I got is when I first run the script I come up with the following error, its fine after that, just happens the first time it runs:

Quote:
Notice: Undefined index: password in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\misc\expdate.php4 on line 4

Notice: Undefined index: expdate in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\misc\expdate.php4 on line 5


I can understand its lookign for varibles that don't exist yet, but how do I overcome it?

Thanks

If you start your script with

error_reporting(0);

it will turn off all notices, warnings, errors are parse problems (and a host of other things) from being reported.  That might be a bit too much of a change;   to turn notices off but leave everything else unchanged, use

$ebits = ini_get('error_reporting');
error_reporting($ebits ^ E_NOTICE);

More about error reporting

That did it.

I also noticed that as standard :

Code:
error_reporting($ebits ^ E_NOTICE);


Should be in the php.ini file, it wasn't so thats now been added for future scripts.

Cheers.
