PHP Notice:

[ryanhowdy]

PHP Notice: Undefined index: user in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/v3/index.php on line 3

line 3 looks like this...

$user = $_POST['user'];

 

This is a login script, and I'm checking to see if the username field was submitted and filled out.  the code works fine, but I want to try and clean up these notices.  what is the correct way to check for this?  without the notices?

[MrSheen]

Easist way to get rid of notices, is to turn them off

[Dragen]

use this code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['user'])){
$user = $_POST['user'];
}
?>

[per1os]

or a bit nicer looking

 

<?php
$user = isset($_POST['user'])?$_POST['user']:'';

?>

 

That way later on if you use $user, it is defined either way.
