I do understand that. what I am trying to do is not define the variables because I did not write the script and do not know how I would define them if I did. My research shows that this is completely possible but the "if" script and "isset" script need to be done correctly. I have only seen it done with a single variable, example $param. but not with multiple variables, example $param, $folder, $images. I don't know what the string $param, $folder, $image means. What I do know, evidenced by above quote from other website :
If you dont want to define the variable first - you can always use a
conditional to act if it doesnt exist:
if(!isset($varname))
{
do something
}
is that the variables do not have to be defined, a conditional can be a work around. I just dont know how to write the conditional.
Another issue is that I have attempted everything on the error reporting side:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
this code is not working at all and the notice is still showing up on my frontpage.
I am a little confused at the answers I am getting. I have been scanning forums for hours trying to figure this out, though this is the first I have asked my question on, and when other's ask the same question they actually get offered code solutions without them posting any more info than I have. I may try another forum but I don't want to join a million of them. I just need help sorting out this issue. I want an error message off of my front page and I am having a challenge making that happen. Any help would be great.
