took a year break

[djddb]

i took a year break from this stuff, and im trying to run old scripts but they aren't working!

heres source and error:

print "the following data will be added";
print "<br>";
print "$name";
print "<br>";
print "$title";
print "<br>";
print "$thedate";
print "<br>";
print "$news";

(this is just part of the source, and the data is coming to script from an html form)

heres error:

Notice: Undefined variable: name in C:\WWROOT\admin\addnews.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined variable: title in C:\WWROOT\admin\addnews.php on line 19

Notice: Undefined variable: news in C:\WWROOT\admin\addnews.php on line 23

Meaning they haven't been defined? Where are you getting these variables from?

try $_POST['names'] instead of just $names

If you have used a new install of PHP, some things have changed to tighten up coding. The use of undefined variables will now produce a notice as you have seen. You have three choices:

1) Use @$foo;

2) Define the variable

3) Turn of notice reporting in php.ini
