Undefined Index

[midwestdesignfirm]

I am getting an undefined index that refers to this part of the code:

 

 

 

$session_id = $_COOKIE[""];

 

$action = $_GET['action'];

 

if ($action == "add" && !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS["artid"])) {

 

$artid = $HTTP_POST_VARS["artid"];

 

 

do i need to change  $HTTP_POST_VARS["artid"];  

to $_GET["artid"]

 

Thank you in advance.

Avoid using $HTTP_POST_VARS unless you don't really have a choice.

 

You should define it even to NULL.

<?php

$session_id = $_COOKIE[""];
 
$action = $_GET['action'];
 
$HTTP_POST_VARS = NULL; 

if ($action == "add" && !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS["artid"])) {
 
$artid = $HTTP_POST_VARS["artid"];

}

HTTP_POST_VARS was deprecated as of PHP 4.1.0, which was released in December of 2001. You should be using $_POST instead.

 

If you're still using a version of PHP that old, you owe it to yourself to update!
