Help with Undefined variable Error

[maxxd]

If you're visiting the 'trending', 'latest', and 'top' pages and seeing 'HELLOcategory text here' on all three (or any of the three, actually), then something is wrong with either PT_Secure() or your use of it because the value of $page is never not 'category'.

Change

die("<pre>".var_export($page, true)."</pre>");

to

print("<pre>".var_export($page, true)."</pre>");

then visit the 'trending', 'latest', and 'top' pages and compare the output.

Thanks for your reply.

After adding your suggestion and visiting each page, I see 'category' in the top right corner of a blank white page quickly (see attached) and then the page with this HELLOcategory text here

 

print("<pre>".var_export($page, true)."</pre>");

$text = 'default';
$cateogry_id = '';
$videos = array();
if ($page == 'trending') {
    $title  = $lang->trending;
    $db->where('privacy', 0);
    $videos = $db->where('time', time() - 172800, '>')->orderBy('views', 'DESC')->get(T_VIDEOS, $limit);
    $text = 'trending text here';
}

else if ($page == 'latest') {
    $title  = $lang->latest_videos;
    $db->where('privacy', 0);
    $videos = $db->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->get(T_VIDEOS, $limit);
    $text = 'latest text here';
}

else if ($page == 'top') {
    $title  = $lang->top_videos;
    $db->where('privacy', 0);
    $videos = $db->orderBy('views', 'DESC')->get(T_VIDEOS, $limit);
    $text = 'top text here';
}

else if ($page == 'category') {
    if (!empty($_GET['id'])) {
        if (in_array($_GET['id'], array_keys($categories))) {
            $pt->page_url_ = $pt->config->site_url.'/videos/'.$page.'/'.$_GET['id'];
            $category = PT_Secure($_GET['id']);
            $title    = $categories[$category];
            $category_id = "data-category='$category'";

            if (!empty($_GET['sub_id'])) {
                 $is_found = $db->where('type',PT_Secure($_GET['id']))->where('lang_key',PT_Secure($_GET['sub_id']))->getValue(T_LANGS,'COUNT(*)');
                if ($is_found > 0) {
                    $pt->page_url_ = $pt->config->site_url.'/videos/'.$page.'/'.$_GET['id'].'/'.$_GET['sub_id'];
                    $db->where('sub_category', PT_Secure($_GET['sub_id']));
                }
            }
            $db->where('privacy', 0);
            $category_old = str_replace('category__', '', $category);
            $videos   = $db->where('category_id = "' . $category . '" OR category_id = "' . $category_old . '"')->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->get(T_VIDEOS, $limit);
			$text = 'category text here';

        } else {
            header("Location: " . PT_Link('404'));
            exit();
        }
    }
}

Any additional help is appreciated.

This means that the return value of PT_Secure($_GET['page']) is always 'category'. The problem is with PT_Secure() - check the documentation to make sure it's being used correctly.
