How do i stop this error, from comming up??



Notice: Undefined variable: txtcustname in D:\wwwroot\Beaumont v 2\index.php on line 55

Is this the same problem as described in this thread?

Anyway, can you copy and paste line 55 of your script here?

Two ways:

1) Define the variable before you call it. $txtcustname = NULL;

2) Set your PHP.ini error reporting to "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE".

This will turn off those annoying harmless notices without requireing you to clean up your code to be prestine perfect. Method #1 is reccommended, as its 'cleaner code' and gives you good habits... but both methods work without any ill effects. Your choice!

if ($txtcustname="")
{ 
echo "Please make sure you have filled in the form correctly.";
}
else
{

You may want to change that to a double equals in the 'if' statement if you are trying to determine if its empty =)

Or, you could use "if (isset($txtcustname)) {}". That gets around that notice, as it checks to see if the variable "is set" or not. If it isn't, then obviously it wasn't passed to the PHP.

Hope that helps some more.

miles_rich,

this checks if it can SET a variable:

if($foo = 'bar')
{
# variable $foo set successful as bar
}

this checks if a variable is SET to some value:

if($foo == 'bar')
{
# $foo is equal to bar
}

this checks if a variable is EMPTY:

if(!$foo)
{
# the variable $foo is empty
}

another example of how to check if a variable is EMPTY:

if($foo == '')
{
# the variable $foo is empty
}

Good luck.
