Hi,

 

I am trying to figure out how to use mysqli function and converting mysql to mysqli in my php files.

 

My sign up form works in mysql but it throws so many errors in the input fields for some reason!

 

the errors are like this:

 

<br /><b>Notice</b>:  Undefined variable: username in <b>/home/netolanc/public_html/answers/join_form.php</b> on line <b>121</b><br />

 

<br /><b>Notice</b>:  Undefined variable: state in <b>/home/netolanc/public_html/answers/join_form.php</b> on line <b>137</b><br />

 

and so on.....

 

i don't understand what this means and why its happening!

 

here is my code for the sign up page:

 

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
?>
<?php
$errorMsg = "";
// First we check to see if the form has been submitted 
if (isset($_POST['username'])){
	//Connect to the database through our include 
	include_once "config/connect.php";
	// Filter the posted variables
	$username = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $_POST['username']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
	$country = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['country']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
	$state = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['state']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
	$city = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['city']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
	$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
	$email = strip_tags($email);
	$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($email);
	$password = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $_POST['password']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
	// Check to see if the user filled all fields with
	// the "Required"(*) symbol next to them in the join form
	// and print out to them what they have forgotten to put in
	if((!$username) || (!$country) || (!$state) || (!$city) || (!$email) || (!$password)){
		
		$errorMsg = "You did not submit the following required information!<br /><br />";
		if(!$username){
			$errorMsg .= "--- User Name";
		} else if(!$country){
			$errorMsg .= "--- Country"; 
		} else if(!$state){ 
		    $errorMsg .= "--- State"; 
	   } else if(!$city){ 
	       $errorMsg .= "--- City";
	   } else if(!$email){ 
	       $errorMsg .= "--- Email Address"; 
	   } else if(!$password){ 
	       $errorMsg .= "--- Password"; 
	   }
	} else {
	// Database duplicate Fields Check
	$sql_username_check = "SELECT id FROM members WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1";
	$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql_username_check);
	$sql_email_check = "SELECT id FROM members WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1";
	$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql_email_check);
	$username_check = mysqli_num_rows($db_conx, $sql_username_check);
	$email_check = mysqli_num_rows($db_conx, $sql_email_check); 
	if ($username_check > 0){ 
		$errorMsg = "<u>ERROR:</u><br />Your User Name is already in use inside our system. Please try another.";
	} else if ($email_check > 0){ 
		$errorMsg = "<u>ERROR:</u><br />Your Email address is already in use inside our system. Please try another.";
	} else {
		// Add MD5 Hash to the password variable
       $hashedPass = md5($password); 
		// Add user info into the database table, claim your fields then values 
		$sql = "INSERT INTO members (username, country, state, city, email, password, signupdate) 
		VALUES ('$username','$country','$state','$city','$email','$hashedPass', now())" or die (mysqli_error());
		$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
		// Get the inserted ID here to use in the activation email
		$id = mysqli_insert_id();
		// Create directory(folder) to hold each user files(pics, MP3s, etc.) 
		mkdir("memberFiles/$id", 0755); 
		// Start assembly of Email Member the activation link
		$to = "$email";
		// Change this to your site admin email
		$from = "admin@somewebsite.com";
		$subject = "Complete your registration";
		//Begin HTML Email Message where you need to change the activation URL inside
		$message = '<html>
		<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

		</body>
		</html>';
		// end of message
		$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
		$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
		$to = "$to";
		// Finally send the activation email to the member
		mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
		// Then print a message to the browser for the joiner 
		print "<br /><br /><br /><h4>OK $firstname, one last step to verify your email identity:</h4><br />

You set the errors to E_ALL, which displays everything, even errors that do not actually mean much. Because your variable was undefined, the error was pointing this out. For example, if you have a form on a page and you have some php script on the same page that will receive the data and process it with a line of code like:

 

$variable = $_GET['form_item'];
 

If the $_GET is not collecting any data because the form has not been submitted, you will get a nice error. I often use this:

 

$action= isset($_REQUEST['action']) ? $_REQUEST['action'] : null;
 

That stops the error for me.

 

Hope that helps!

i think i already said  i've fixed it before you posted your comment mate. i use E_ALL because i want to run a script which is absolutely error free and its clean. cant risk using a script with so many hidden errors running in the background!

 

the issue was none of the ones you mentioned! as i posted above before your post,  i fixed it by this like: <?php if (!empty($username)) {echo $username;}?>

 

thanks anyway
