Undefined Variable help!

[drmota]

Hey guys,

An error message popped up in my php script.

Problem: Undefined variable: error_message in C:\Program Files (x86)\wamp\www\ts\contact.php on line 35

Script:

 if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
  	died($error_message);
  }

Thanks in advance 🙂

$error_message must be defined before the conditional.

$error_message; 

if(strlen($error_message) > 0)
{
    died($error_message);
}

Note that jgetner's code above will still cause the same error since there is no variable defined in it.

Where is $error_message supposed to be coming from?

i think your wrong brad no offence by this but by the code he provided $error_message must not be defined before this conditional or it it not in scope.

so by the code he provided and the by the error_reported message the logical standpoint is that he has not yet defined the variable $error_message.

But as you requested there could be more to this than the code he provided as i have a feeling it could be a scope or he just forgot to define the var.

Thisis why more than just the line needs to be provided.
