Request Method Error 1

[Coogan]

Hello all,

I am having a problem with the below script and im not sure why.

The error message that I am getting is:

Notice: Undefined variable: request_method in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\fns\login.php on line 49

However this code is working fine on a hosted site and not on an internal machine with the same install of Apache, SQL and PHP. I have always used the $request_method option of checking if a form is being posted and never had any problems until now.

Any suggestions??

Thanks

Coogan

newer versions of php will complain if you haven't set a variable prior to it being called.

if you used for example:

if(isset($_POST['id'])) {

.....

everything should be fine.
