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.
