[RESOLVED] Notice: Undefined index: page

[biffbaffboff]

Hello people,

Im new to php and basically, im trying to get certain information from a database to display only on the index page or if page=1 (Which is also the home page)

My SQL works as i can get the info to display on my all the pages but i only want to limit it to display on the home page. Heres the code

		if($_GET['page'] == 1 || !isset($_GET['page'])) {
			      $mysql->get_News();
		        }

So basically i only want to run that function is page is 1 or page hasnt been set (ie the info will be displayed on index.php as well as index.php?page=1).

This does work kind of, but i get that error, if i turn error reporting off, error_reporting(0);, then it goes but i know this isnt a proper fix.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi biffbaffboff,

when you access index.php file directly, the $_GET array will become empty so in your condition your trying to access an array element which is not exists.
In order to avoid it you can use this,

if((isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == 1) ||  !isset($_GET['page'])) 
{
    $mysql->get_News();
}

Thanks,
Best regards,

Logically speaking, it'd be simpler to just reverse the OP's order of the if() condition in the original code:

if(!isset($_GET['page']) || $_GET['page'] == 1) {
