Switch help?

I know that this works

[code]<?
$Function = ( $_POST['f'] ) ? $_POST['f'] : $_GET['f']; //Gets the function
switch( $Function )
{
case 'a':
?>
<a href="switcher.php?f=b">Function B</a><br>
<a href="switcher.php">No Function (Default used)</a>
<?
break;
case 'b':
?>
This is the function 'b'.<br>
<a href="switcher.php?f=a">Function A</a><br>
<a href="switcher.php">No Function (Default used)</a>
<?
break;
default:
?>
<a href="switcher.php?f=a">Function A</a><br>
<a href="switcher.php?f=b">Function B</a><br>
<a href="switcher.php?f=c">Function C (Does not exist, use default)</a>
<?
};
?>
[/code]

But I just installed PHP on this machine, and I'm getting this:

[pre]Notice: Undefined index: f in f:\site\switcher.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined index: f in f:\site\switcher.php on line 5
Function A
Function B
Function C (Does not exist, use default)[/pre]

Any ideas?

It's because of the set level of error reporting.

Use isset:
[code]$Function =  isset($_POST['f'])? $_POST['f'] : $_GET['f']; [/code]

Still comes up with the same thing; could I of installed it wrong?

I dont understand why your using the $_POST array at all.

[code=php:0]
$Function =  isset($_GET['f']) ? $_GET['f'] : '';
[/code]

Okay, here's the deal: php can be set to leave or inlcude the reporting of notices, warnings en fatal errors. Likely, on the other machine it was set not to report notices. Mind you, this is NOT AN ERROR, it's a notice. It's triggered when you refer to var (or in this case index) not set.

In your script you only refer to two vars and indexes: $_POST['f'] and $_GET['f'].

Appearantly, in some state of your application, neither $_POST['f'] nor $_GET['f'] are set.

Alternative:
[code]if(isset($_POST['f])) {
$func = $_POST['f];
elseif(isset($_GET['f'])) {
$func = $_GET['f];
else {
$func = '';
}[/code]
