Undefined Variable

[fakierock]

Hi guys,

I have a CMS system which I've spent the last week fixing. It's built in PHP, and now I'm stuck on the most simplest of tasks. I can't figure out why I am receiving an "undefined variable" error within this block of code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

function track_app($app_id, $lang_code, $str, $instance) {

 

$lang_id = get_lang_id($lang_code);

 

if ($instance > 0) {

 

if ($str == 'LOAD_APP' || $str == 'APP_LOADED') {

 

$query = "INSERT INTO `tracking` (

`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`, INSTANCE_ID

) VALUES (

$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str', $instance

)";

 

} 

 

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `tracking_backup` (

`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`, INSTANCE_ID

) VALUES (

$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str', $instance

)");

 

mysql_query("UPDATE `instances` SET ACTIVE = 1 WHERE INSTANCE_ID = $instance");

 

} else {

$query = "INSERT INTO `tracking` (

`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`

) VALUES (

$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str'

)";

}

 

mysql_query($query);

 

}

it would probably help if you shared the variable name that's not defined and at which line in the posted code the error is occurring at.

Below is the error message I'm getting:

 

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: query in /var/www/vhosts/apphosts.co.uk/httpdocs/v2/project_php/track.php on line 61

 

line 61 -  mysql_query($query);

 

Thanks

For that to happen $instance is greater than 0 AND $str does not equal 'LOAD_APP' or 'APP_LOADED'.

 

Looks like you need to add some more debugging inside the function to return an error or something if that occurs.

Try this logic tweak...

function track_app($app_id, $lang_code, $str, $instance) {

	$lang_id = get_lang_id($lang_code);

	$query = "INSERT INTO `tracking` (
	`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`
	) VALUES (
	$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str'
	)";

	if ($instance > 0) {

		if ($str == 'LOAD_APP' || $str == 'APP_LOADED') {

			$query = "INSERT INTO `tracking` (
			`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`, INSTANCE_ID
			) VALUES (
			$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str', $instance
			)";
		}

	mysql_query("INSERT INTO `tracking_backup` (
	`APPLICATION_ID`, `LANG_ID`, `INFO`, INSTANCE_ID
	) VALUES (
	$app_id,  $lang_id, '$str', $instance
	)");

	mysql_query("UPDATE `instances` SET ACTIVE = 1 WHERE INSTANCE_ID = $instance");

	}

	mysql_query($query);
}
