Notice: Undefined index:

[dazzclub]

Hi there,

 

I am testing my form so when i press submit i get several variables being displayed as

Notice: Undefined index: variable name here

 

I looked at to see if the spelling is right so to rule any further complications these variables now use lower case had include no special characters. These variables are checkboxes on my form..

 

to see it live visit http://www.lcrhallcrest.com/education.php

 

Here is the actual code

function sample_pack()

$fail = '';

//this will check to see if the form has been completed accordingly
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

Is this one of the lines that produces the error?

if (preg_match ('/^[A-Z \'.-]{2,20}$/i', $trimmed['conductivitybars'])) {

Here you are probably requesting a value from the array where the index 'conductivitybars' doesn't exist.

in code. you need to set  the index before you can use it.

 

for example this will not give a notice message:

$trimmed = array();
$trimmed['conductivitybars'] = "";
echo $trimmed['conductivitybars'];

 

this will give the notice message:

$trimmed = array();
// without the 'conductivitybars' index set
echo $trimmed['conductivitybars'];
