undefined variable error with a defined variable

cljones81

Hi Everyone:

I've written this simple bit of php code which echoes out a simple welcome message to the member when they login to their area:

$hour = date("H:i:s");
if ($hour > '6:00:00' && $hour <= '12:00:00') {
$greet = "a good morning to you";
}
if ($hour > '12:00:00' && $hour <= '17:00:00') {
$greet = "a good afternoon to you";
}
if ($hour > '18:00:00' && $hour <= '23:00:00') {
$greet = " a good evening to you";
}
if ($hour > '23:00:00' && $hour <= '6:00:00') {
$greet = "a good night to you";
}
  $mysite_username = $_COOKIE["mysite_username"]; 
echo "<div align='center'><strong><font color='#0000FF' font size='2' face='Verdana'>"; 
echo "Hello $mysite_username, $greet and welcome to your area at The Garw Valley Digital Library ENJOY!!!"; 
echo "</font></strong></div>"; 
echo "<br><br>";

it was working prior to this but I'm getting the error, NOTICE: undefined variable error on line blah blah.

But I cannot see what the compiler complaining about the variable has bee defined and instantiated with a value, Im at a loss 😕

Please help.

It would help if we knew which line it was complaining about, and which variable.

NOTICE: undefined variable error on line n

On what line?
And please post this line and some code before this line number.
This is a very easy case, man. Just give us more information.

===========================

We love questions like this:

1. I get this error:
NOTICE: undefined variable error on line 1234

When I do this with my script in this specific situation

What I want is to get this result, instead.

This is Code of Relevant part around the Line XXX,
where my error happend:
/php/
some code here
/php/

.. but almost never does the questions/topics begin like this.
I wish they did

regars 🙂

On this issue we think 100% the same, Horizon88.
We did crossposting.

My apologises to say Im a little embarrased at this, would be an understatement :o.
But whatever error there was seems to have repaired itself or simply gone away.

My guess is it was in your $_COOKIE call - you were referencing a cookie that hadn't been set yet, and then it got set and the error went away, most likely.
