hello
ok i am not ecately sure if it can be doen or not but here goes
this is the code i have
<form action="<?php $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
Show Name: <input type="text" name="showname"><br><br>
<input type="Submit" value = "View"></center>
<?php
$showname=$POST['showname'];
....
?>
due to the fact i have the form page within the view page since nothing has been submit at the point the page loads i get this error
Notice: Undefined index: showname in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\digitaltv\showsview.php on line 7
is there anyway to set the showname to blank so it does not think the index is undefined but i rather not set it as a value as then it come up with no records found do to the next bit of code after the bit i have displayed here
