Undefine Index

[oldLearner57]

hello community

can somebody anybody please clarify my mistake in this following:

what is the meaning of this error message:

"undefined index"

I am using dwmx2004 to create an output page and I am using Apache with PHP. In the Form method I used "Post". I checked all the coding and couter-checked my text field variable and is OK and to counter check whether my Apache is properly configured with PHP, I used the "phpinfo()" and I can get the php info page.

thanks for the help

Without more details of your script, it's difficult to give you a
precise answer, but "Undefined index" is an error message created by PHP
when you try to use an array variable that doesn't exist. For instance,
if you have the following line:

echo $_POST['name'];

You will get Undefined index if $_POST['name'] doesn't exist. One reason
it might happen is if your form use "Name" (with a capital N). Because
PHP is case-sensitive, the correct variable would be $_POST['Name'].

thanks David Powers / community, I got it done correctly, it was my mistake for not filling in the "php" extension in the "Action" fill.

thanks everybody for the help 🙂
