Undefined Variable

[topflight]

I am getting an undefined variable error on line 27 for $error. Here is the portion of my code:

<?php
if (!$_POST['lname']){ $error ='No Last  name<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['email']){ $error ='No Email Address<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['vatsimid']){ $error ='No VATSIM ID<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['hub']){ $error ='No Hub<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['pwd']){ $error ='No Password<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['pwdc']){ $error ='No Password Conformation<br>'; }
if (!$_POST['emailc']){ $error ='No Conformation Email Address<br>'; }
if ($_POST['thours']){ if (!$_POST['thoursc']){ $error ='No comments<br>'; }}
if ($_POST['email'] != $_POST['emailc']){ $error ='Email mismatch'; }
if ($_POST['pwd'] != $_POST['pwdc']){ $error ='Password mismatch'; }



if ($error){ echo $error; } else {
?>

 

Line 27:

<?php 
if ($error){ echo $error; } else { ?>

 

I don't know what happen one day it was working the next it wasn't and I haven't done anything to it.

A better way of doing this (IMHO) would be:

<?php
$error = array();
if (!$_POST['lname']){ $error[] ='No Last  name'; }
if (!$_POST['email']){ $error[]='No Email Address'; }
if (!$_POST['vatsimid']){ $error[] ='No VATSIM ID'; }
if (!$_POST['hub']){ $error[] ='No Hub'; }
if (!$_POST['pwd']){ $error[] ='No Password'; }
if (!$_POST['pwdc']){ $error[] ='No Password Conformation'; }
if (!$_POST['emailc']){ $error[] ='No Conformation Email Address'; }
if ($_POST['thours']){ if (!$_POST['thoursc']){ $error[] ='No comments'; }}
if ($_POST['email'] != $_POST['emailc']){ $error[] ='Email mismatch'; }
if ($_POST['pwd'] != $_POST['pwdc']){ $error[] ='Password mismatch'; }
if (!empty($error))
    echo implode('<br>',$error);
else {
?>

that didn't work all I receive is just a white page when I typed everything in. If everything is correct is it suppose to shoot an email and also insert that information into the database which it did not do.

Please post the rest of your code. Usually when you get a blank page you have an error of some kind.

This is my code:

echo'You are already a member of Simulated Alaska';}

 

if(isset($_POST['apply'])){

if (!$_POST['lname']){ $error[] ='No Last  name'; }

if (!$_POST['email']){ $error[]='No Email Address'; }

if (!$_POST['vatsimid']){ $error[] ='No VATSIM ID'; }

if (!$_POST['hub']){ $error[] ='No Hub'; }

if (!$_POST['pwd']){ $error[] ='No Password'; }

if (!$_POST['pwdc']){ $error[] ='No Password Conformation'; }

if (!$_POST['emailc']){ $error[] ='No Conformation Email Address'; }

if ($_POST['thours']){ if (!$_POST['thoursc']){ $error[] ='No comments'; }}

if ($_POST['email'] != $_POST['emailc']){ $error[] ='Email mismatch'; }

if ($_POST['pwd'] != $_POST['pwdc']){ $error[] ='Password mismatch'; }

if (!empty($error))

    echo implode('<br>',$error);
