Hello all!
I have a newsletter script that works fine but I receive some undefined
variables errors in Apache's error log:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: action in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 73
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: action in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 100
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: pw in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 123
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: pw in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 159
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: disp in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 159
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: found in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 75
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: pw in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 123
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: pw in
C:\Apache\htdocs\easyletter2\easyletter.php on line 159
How can I get an undefined variable error for $action, $pw, $disp, $found
when thew do not have to be declared in the script?
And the script is:
