easyphp settings

[Matth_S]

Hi,

I'd like to set EasyPhp so as the variables can be checked without being initialized previously.

What I mean :

I have a form with an input such as :
<input type="text" name="toto">

if I use in the php code :
if($toto!="") I get an error message "undefined variable" when the page is loaded for the first time as the variable isn't yet initialize.

What I have to modify in the php.ini file to prevent this error ?

Thanks

This is a common mistake new users to PHP make and when going to a much harder language they struggle most of the time.

This is a simple error and it can be avoided by using proper techniques.

Why not use firstly Super Globals since you are posting data $POST however there are $GET $COOKIE $SESSION do a search on super globals or $_GET you will find a few examples of how people use them or have a better explaination if you want one.

in this case

if (isset($_POST['toto'])) {
 //if submitted
}

the isset function determines whether a variable and/or array index is defined before being executed which is what is happening. isset will return either true (1) or false (0) or if you each it out 1 and blank.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your answer,

I already know the function isset and I'm used to $POST , $GET etc ; the problem is that I have to modify some pages that are on a server set as I described previously. So I would like to set easyphp the same way.
I'm trying to avoid to add isset each time a variable is checked and to avoid getting the variables with $_POST when they come from a form. It will take me a long time to do that as I have to modify many pages 🙁
