Hello everybody...
I have a problem with my PHP application.
When I'm trying to activate my application, I get this error message:

Code:

Notice: Undefined index: act in c:\apache\htdocs\hpnet\admin_updates.php on line 18

Well, my 18th line in admin_updates.php is:

PHP Code:

switch ($_GET['act']) 

And I've already defined the variable 'act' - take a look at the 6th line:

PHP Code:

$act = $_GET; 

What is the problem? Why am I getting this error message over and over?
Please help me.
Thank you

the $_GET[] is getting the value of a variable from a url, not a variable set in the script.. so if you go to..
admin_updates.php?act=set

$_GET is a predefined global array !
in your code you are creating another array called $act which has the same values in $_GET..

and your switch() will never return anything but the default value or NULL! because $_GET['act'] is null unless your URL looks like this:
admin_updates.php?act=VALUE

This is my switch() code:

PHP Code:

switch ($_GET['act'])

{

case "add":

include('add.tpl');

break;

default:

include('index.tpl');

} 

The weird thing is the code works grate, the default and the "add" case, but the error message still appears - but only when I'm trying to activate the default case.
Please explain me what to do.
Thank you

PHP Code:

if( isset($_GET['act']) ) {

switch ($_GET['act'])

{

case "add":

include('add.tpl');

break;

default:

include('index.tpl');

} 

} else {

include('index.tpl');

} 

See, if the 'act' is not given a value you cannot switch it..so you just check if it is...or not
