It means the variable you are trying to use doesn't exist.

Wrap the $_POST['text'] part in a if-statement.

<form action="test2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test">
<input type="submit">
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST["test"])) {
echo $_POST["test"];
}
?>

PHP:

or

<form action="test2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
echo $_POST["test"];
}
?>

Notice is not an error. you can just ignore it, default php setting disable notice reporting.

to disable notice add this command at top of the script (usually index.php or config)
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
