your error_reporting is set to E_ALL, leave it like that :)

to fix you problem use

PHP Code:


$formSubmit1 = (isset($formSubmit1)) ? $formSubmit1 : '';

and repeat it for the other strings...

that should fix some things, if you supply a bit code we can look and fix everything

if you want to become a good PHP coder you should always put error_reporting(E_ALL); in your scripts, and fix all errors you see

Hello Matthias,

This is a common problem with every PHP script that I write.

Like Allowee has already said, it's your error_reporting default value set in the php.ini file.

The good news is that you can overwrite this setting - this is good news ONLY if you didn't write the script yourself, you don't know PHP well enough to go fixing everything AND you want a quick fix.

Go to the top of this script and just add this line:

PHP Code:


error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

But like Allowee also mentioned, it is recommended that you fix the 'real' problems instead. Here's an example why:

PHP Code:


<?php
$test = 'something';
if( $test ):
    echo $text;
endif;
?>

This piece of script will send out the same kind of error notice like what you described. Notice the spelling error for the variable; $text instead of $test!

If you understand the snippet of code above, you'll realise why most PHP coders prefer to develop their PHP codes with error_reporting() set to E_ALL.

Hallo Guys,
it was exactly what you assumed.

Thanx
