Hi I got a problem:

I passed a value in the index_type variable from personal_form.php
Here is the code:

<input type=hidden name="index_type" value="Educational Background"; ?>


The user picks the record to be deleted.
The personal_form.php calls the proc_athlete.php

Here is the code:

Code:

if ($_POST['index_type']=="Educational Background")
      {

      if ($process=="add")
         {
           $SQL="INSERT INTO educ_background (StudNo, Years_Inclusive, Degree_Earned, School)
           VALUES ('".$student."','".$yrs_inclusive."','".$deg_earned."', '".$s_chool."')";
         }
      elseif ($process=="edit")
         {
           $SQL= "UPDATE educ_background SET Counter= '$count', StudNo= '$student', years_Inclusive= '$yrs_inclusive', School= '$s_chool' WHERE StudNo= '$student' AND Counter= '$count'";
         }
      elseif ($process=="del")
         {
           $SQL="DELETE FROM educ_background WHERE StudNo='$student'";
         }
      mysql_select_db("apds") or die("Could not select database");
      $result = mysql_query($SQL)or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());
      include("educ_background_main.php");
      }

The error is:

Notice: Undefined index: index_type in c:\web\apds\proc_athlete.php on line 13

I hope you could give me a tip. Thanks.

Code:

<input type=hidden name="index_type" value="Educational Background"; ?>

this is a malformed input tag!
use this instead:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="index_type" value="Educational Background">

as for the Notice, it's because the hidden field was not found! probably because the tag was not correct..
fix it and see if it works.

also u can get the error if ur using a switch i.e. ?page=blah

Hello,

Check the register_globals setting and also make sure your form has the POST method.
