Undefined variable

I'm trying to use this variable

<?php echo $text2; ?>

PHP:

but I'm getting an error:

Error
Message: Undefined variable: text2

Code (markup):

This is the code:

class Subpage
{
	static function Build()
	{
		if(User::$isLoggedin != TRUE)
		{
			redirect('login');
		}

		$details = User::$details;
		if(isset($_POST['update']))
		{
			if(strlen($_POST['details']) >= 15)
			{
			$text2 = 'test';
			}
			elseif(strlen($_POST['details']) <= 15)
			{
				$id = User::$id;
				$details = $_POST['details'];
				$db_details = DB::safe($details);

				DB::query("UPDATE top_topsites SET details = '$db_details' WHERE id = '$id' LIMIT 1");
			}
		}

		Load::view('ucp/details', array('id' => User::$id, 'siteurl' => Config::item('siteurl'), 'details' => $details));
	}
}

PHP:

Thanks

 

$text2 is being defined here:

[COLOR=#b1b100]if[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900]([/COLOR][URL="http://www.php.net/strlen"][COLOR=#990000]strlen[/COLOR][/URL][COLOR=#009900]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000088]$_POST[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900][[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]'details'[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900]][/COLOR][COLOR=#009900])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#339933]>=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#cc66cc]15[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900])[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#009900]{[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#000088]$text2[/COLOR] [COLOR=#339933]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]'test'[/COLOR][COLOR=#339933];[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#009900]}[/COLOR]
 

Code (markup):

If the condition is false, $text2 never gets defined. Try

[COLOR=#b1b100]$text2 = '';
if[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900]([/COLOR][URL="http://www.php.net/strlen"][COLOR=#990000]strlen[/COLOR][/URL][COLOR=#009900]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000088]$_POST[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900][[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]'details'[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900]][/COLOR][COLOR=#009900])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#339933]>=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#cc66cc]15[/COLOR][COLOR=#009900])[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#009900]{[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#000088]$text2[/COLOR] [COLOR=#339933]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]'test'[/COLOR][COLOR=#339933];[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#009900]}[/COLOR]
 

Code (markup):

 

It's not working

 

self::$text2 = '';
if(strlen($_POST['details']) >= 15)
{
  self::$text2 = 'test';
}

Code (markup):

Then do

echo Subpage::$text2;

Code (markup):

 

Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: Subpage::$text2 in D:\xampp\htdocs\top\templates\v1\pages\ucp\details.php on line 40

Code (markup):

 

Where is

<?php echo $text2; ?>

PHP:

appearing? It's undefined outside the function it's being defined in. You can declare it public in the class and access it from outside. But what you do depends on where you're trying to use it.

 

I've solved the problem.
Now I'm using JS to check the string length.

Anyway thanks for the help.

 

undefined variables shouldn't be reported anyways. that way you can use the isset function if you choose.
