From my experience this is because your trying to use a variable before it is defined. I have gotten this when verifying form submission. e.g.

<?php
if(!$_POST['submit']){
  //form is not submitted so show the form

}
else
{
  //process the form here because it has been submitted.
}
?>

 

My solution... maybe not the best, but it worked.

 

Set the error reporting a little higher in php.ini. right now it is probably set to E_ALL or E_NOTICE. Try setting it to E_WARNING or E_ERROR and you should see that notice go away.
