 Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 1:02 pm Post subject: First script: Undefined Index Errors |
 |
|
Hello,
I get these following errors when I run my PHP script I wrote. It's a simple one that is supposed to send form information to my e mail address.
Notice: Undefined index: firstname in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\waldosignup.php on line 2
Notice: Undefined index: lastname in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\waldosignup.php on line 3
Notice: Undefined index: address in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\waldosignup.php on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: email in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\waldosignup.php on line 5
Notice: Undefined index: phone in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\waldosignup.php on line 6
THe PHP script is as follows:
| Code: |
<?php
$firstname=$_POST["firstname"];
$lastname=$_POST["lastname"];
$address=$_POST["address"];
$email=$_POST["email"];
$phone=$_POST["phone"];
$to="pwapilot@cox.net";
$message="Application\n $firstname $lastname\n $address\n $email\n $phone\n";
if(mail($to,"Waldo Application",$message,"From:$email\n")){
echo "Thanks for applyling. You will hear from the president within the next 24 hours with further information.";
}else{
echo"There was a problem sending your application. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>
|
I don't know if there is a little markup problem in my script, or am I doing something totally wrong. I tried searching the forums, but nothing seemed to pertain to my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Okay, thanks. I just have 1 more problem now; I don't get any of the information entered in the form in the E-Mail I get. The only thing it says in the body is "Application". Not even a subject. I thought that there may be a problem with my HTML code, but it looks fine. The form code is as follows is someone wants to give it a quick check:
| Code: |
<form action="waldosignup.php" action="post">
<p>First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" size="30" maxlength="30"></p>
<p>Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastname" size="30" maxlength="30"></p>
<p>Street Address: <input type="text" name="address" size="30" maxlength="30"></p>
<p>E-Mail Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="30"></p>
<p>Phone Number: <input type="text" name="phone" size="30" maxlength="30"></p>
<p><input type="image" value="Submit" src="img/submit.jpg" alt="Submit"></p>
</form>
|
So, if it isn't that, they what's wrong with my PHP?
Thanks again,
Mike |

Your code is wrong because when I fixed it , it worked for me , you need to
change action="post" to method="post" , hope your enjoying PHP. LateR!
Example:
| Code: | | <form action="file.php" method="post"> |

You need to change the error level that PHP will report in your PHP.ini file or theres a script config for it, however i forgot what it was where it wont display any errors :\. All that notice error means is that there is nothing stored in those variables (yet)...

To answer your question k1ll3rdr4g0n , the code is listed below , just put
these two lines of code at the beginning of your php code after the <?php
| Code: |
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
ini_set("display_errors", 1); |
Note: Now only critical errors will be displayed , I recommend just disabling
errors all together , showing errors can cause problems in the future so you
should disable all errors by setting display_errors=On to Off , LateR!
