Notice: Use of undefined constant variable - assumed 'variable' in ...

[erme]

I have just re-installed Xampp and suddenly my sites are now displaying lots of:

 

Notice: Use of undefined constant name - assumed 'name' in ...

Notice: Use of undefined constant price - assumed 'price' in ...

 

this is an example of the line its refering too:

 

$defineProducts[1001] = array(name=>'This is a product', price=>123);

String values need to be quoted.

I have tried

 

$defineProducts[1001] = array("name=>Loom Style Conservatory Suite in White Cane, price=>375");

 

and

 

$defineProducts[1001] = array("name=>Loom Style Conservatory Suite in White Cane", "price=>375");

 

and

 

$defineProducts[1001] = array(name=>"Loom Style Conservatory Suite in White Cane", price=>"375");

 

but doesn't work

You don't enclose both the key and value in one set of quotes. Each gets its own set.

 

$array = array( 'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2' );

The manual section on Arrays will tell you everything you need to know about proper array syntax.

 

Also, you were developing without error-reporting turned on before.  Always turn it on and leave it on, otherwise one day you'll realize every single line of array access is wrong.
