Hi I am getting the error message  Notice: Undefined Index on the following form before submission

I would like to fix this rather than suppress errors

Any help would be much appreciated

@FUNKAM35 - Does your page have multiple forms? If not, your $_POST variable should be "first" and not "first1"...unless there is more to your form that's not being shown.

 

To avoid errors being shown before a form is submitted, you could check if the form was submitted before using $_POST. However, you would still need to set variables like $first so that errors don't come up while the form is being displayed. Here's a quick example:

<?php
//IF FORM WAS SUBMITTED
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $first = $_POST['first'];
    //get the rest of the form information
 
//ELSE...INITIALIZE FIELDS
} else {
    $first = '';
    //initialize other variables...
}
 
//dispaly form...
?>
