Im doing a simple ifelse statement and im getting these errors.


Notice: Undefined index: alert in /var/www/vhosts/videostatus.com/httpdocs/dev/cp/cp_videos.php on line 194

Notice: Undefined index: alert in /var/www/vhosts/videostatus.com/httpdocs/dev/cp/cp_videos.php on line 202

PHP Code:

 if($_GET['alert'] == "update")

    

    echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been updated.<br></span>";



    elseif($_GET['alert'] == "add")

    

    echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been added.<br></span>";

    

    elseif($_GET['alert'] == "delete")

    

    echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been deleted.<br></span>"; 

i dont see any issues here - please help

$_GET['alert'] is not set (undefined). Use isset() in your is/elseif conditions, or set it to a default value at the beginning of your code.

i tried setting the variable alert at the beginning of my code and im still get the same errors.

$alert = "";

[Zefer]

Try this:

PHP Code:

<?php
$alert = $_GET["alert"];
switch ($alert) {
 case 'update':
  echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been updated.<br></span>";
 break;
 case 'add':
  echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been added.<br></span>";
 break;
 case 'delete':
  echo "<br /><span class=error>Your video has been deleted.<br></span>";
 break;
};
?>

Or:

PHP Code:

$alert = isset($_GET["alert"]) ? $_GET['alert'] : null;

Nico i used your variable instead of Zefer's and that worked great can you explain this to me a little bit

im confused with the "?" and the ": null"
