Error Reporting Question...

[PHPNewbie55]

I started using

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>

 

At the beginning of all of my scripts...

 

But now I can't do what I usually do without getting an error...

If I start the script off like this with error_reporting(E_ALL);

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

if (!$action) {
print "this";
} elseif ($action = "submit") {
print "that";
}
?>

 

I get an error message..

 

Notice: Undefined variable: action in /user/web/myurl.com/thefile.php on line 4

 

 

 

So how would I define this variable...  because I thought that I was defining it by the

if (!$action)

and the elseif ($action = "submit")

Define action at the top

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// keep it blank or keep any value you want
$action = "";
if (!$action) {
print "this";
} elseif ($action = "submit") {
print "that";
}
?>

[rajivgonsalves]

or your code should be

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

if (!isset($action)) {
print "this";
} elseif (isset($action) && $action = "submit") {
print "that";
}
?>
