Undefined index: min in /phpvalidation.php on line 100

[ephbaum]

I"m getting two errors.  I am not a programmer.  Can usually grind it out the hard way but not getting anywhere

with this one.

 

Notice: Undefined index: min in /phpvalidation.php on line 100

case 'string':

                    $this->validateString($var, $opt['min'], $opt['max'], $opt['required']);    <LINE 100

                    if(!array_key_exists($var, $this->errors))

                    {

                        $this->sanitizeString($var);

                    }

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /phpvalidation.php:100) in /doeditprofile.php on line 53

 

$publicOrNot = true;

if($_POST['publicProfile'] == "false") { $publicOrNot = false; }

 

$dbhandle = new mysqli("localhost", "XXXXXX_website", "2dc57pdgHxtLWfAQ", "XXXXXX_archivemain") or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");

$updateStatement = $dbhandle->prepare("UPDATE users SET firstName=?, lastName=?, postcode=?, profileText=?") or die("errorUP");

$updateStatement->bind_param('ssss', $_POST['firstName'], $_POST['lastName'], $_POST['postcode'], $_POST['profileText']) or die("errorDO");

$result = $updateStatement->execute() or die("error 3");

 

header('location: profile.php');                   <LINE 53

}

 

I don't get how 'min' is undefined.  Was getting a bunch of 'undefined''s but solved that with isset. 

 

I'm lost.

[edit] At some point there was a response in here... Something, something, array doesn't have a min in it. [/edit]

Can't use header() if there's been output. In this case the output came from that first error message (notice where it said the output started) so when you fix that then this one will go away too. Edited March 7, 2015 by requinix

You should use var_dump on the contents of $opt, which should demonstrate that at least the "min" key is not set. Without knowing how that array is populated, we can't tell you more than that PHP is not lying to you about the "min" key being unset.

$rules_array = array(

'firstName'=>array('type'=>'string', 'required'=>true, 'min'=>2, 'max'=>30),

'lastName'=>array('type'=>'string', 'required'=>true, 'min'=>2, 'max'=>30),

'postcode'=>array('type'=>'string', 'required'=>true, 'min'=>5, 'max'=>10),

'profileText'=>array('type'=>'string', 'required'=>true, 'min'=>5, 'max'=>350)

);

 

The last line was missing min and was written like this:

 

'profileText'=>array('type'=>'string', 'required'=>false, 'max'=>350)

 

I changed it to true and added the min back in.  The profile text isn't required so how would I write it

to not be required?

 

It cleared those 2 errors, now I'm getting error2.  

 

Now off to see if I can figure these out.

 

Thanks a ton for your help!
