Help...Just starting to learn PHP... Undefined variable

[nubie_gurl]

can someone help me with this..

for ($i = 1; $i < count($votes); $i = $i + 2)
{
	// add together each vote total to find the total number of votes cast
	$totalVotes += $votes[$i];
}

I got this error:

Notice: Undefined variable: totalVotes in C:\Hosting Site\Web Sites\bbpilipinas.com\wwwroot\vote\display.php on line 66

Thanks a lot!

$totalVotes += $votes[$i] is the same as

$totalVotes = $totalVotes + $votes[$i]

but the first time this is run, there isnt a variable "$totalVotes" to add $votes[$i] to: so set it to zero before your for loop, and you should be okay.

$totalVotes = 0;
for ($i = 1; $i < count($votes); $i = $i + 2) 
{ 
// add together each vote total to find the total number of votes cast 
$totalVotes += $votes[$i]; 
} 

Hope that helps!
