Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\xxx\job_preview.php on line

Hi.
I use WampServer Version 2.0 and when I tried to execute this script I got an error:


Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\xxx\job_preview.php on line 8

Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\xxx\job_preview.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined variable: normal_price in C:\wamp\www\xxx\job_preview.php on line 23

8    if($_REQUEST["name"]!="")
9    {
10    $Title=$_REQUEST["name"];
11    }
12    else
13    {
14    $Title=$_REQUEST["Title"];
15    }
16        
17    if($_REQUEST["name"]!="")
18    {
19    $highlight=$extra_price;
20    }
21    else
22    {
23    $highlight=$normal_price;
24    }
25    $wd2=(addslashes($_POST["Available_positions"]));
26 ?>    

PHP:

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

 

Hello,

Those are errors of type "E_NOTICE", it's a good practice to show them if you are developing but they should be hidden from public.

From this point you have 2 choices:
1 - Correct those minor errors
2 - Hide and ignore them

------
1 -
replace

if($_REQUEST["name"]!="")

PHP:

with

if(isset($_REQUEST["name"]) && $_REQUEST["name"]!="")

PHP:

------
2 -
In your PHP configuration file (php.ini) set "error_reporting like this:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE 

Code (markup):

------
Resource: http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting

 

Thank you a lot. I have already solved it on the 2nd way, but I would like to solve it in the code. As you said I solved lines 8 and 17 with replacing, but I still have a problem with line 23. What to do with line 23? Thank you again.

 

Could you please post the error message

 

Notice: Undefined variable: normal_price in C:\wamp\www\xxx\job_preview.php on line 23

 

Try to understand PHP's error messages:
You're telling PHP to assign a value which he doesn't know (because it has not been set in the previous lines of code)
this will suppress the error but may bring newer error (depending on how you wrote your code).

if(isset($normal_price)) $highlight=$normal_price;

PHP:

I guess this is not what you want to do, at line 23 $normal_price should already have been set

 

Thank you!
