    "PHP Notice: Undefined index: ISPA_gender" means that there is an expression in your script where $some_array[ISPA_gender] is used but without a value.

    If you have lots of those notices, you should kick whoever made the script for not coding it properly and make do with hiding them by setting error_reporting to E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE.

    Or you can fix them by going through the script and making sure it only uses defined values. I.e. rather than
    
$someVar = $someArray['someKey'] 
// where the someKey value may or may not have been set

// Instead check if its set first
$someVar = isset($someArray['someKey']) ? $someArray['someKey'] : '';
