undefined variable error

[Bastien]

Hi All,

I have a file that sets a variable and then I call a function from an include file to print a form to the browser. Yet when I do this I get an undefined variable error:
Warning: Undefined variable: distribName in common.php on line 30

Page1.php

if(!isset($distribname)){
$distribName ="";

include common.php

<input type=\&quot;text\&quot; name=\&quot;DistribName\&quot; size=\&quot;30\&quot; value = \&quot;&quot; & $distribName & &quot;\&quot;>

There are about 13 variable like this and I can't seem to get this fixed. Any help will be appreciated.

TIA

I am assuming that the code works? I believe that PHP variables do need to be defined. You can switch the error logging to a different level to show only Fatel errors (errors that stop the code running) The error you are recieving is a warning and I don't believe will affect the program.

To look at the error logging open php.ini and look for the lines:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Error handling and logging ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Below will tell you more about what errors you wish to show
