Question

could anyone check my code why i get a notice like this?

Notice: Undefined index: id in C:\xampp\htdocs\HRPO\module\reports\jo\view_jo.php on line 76

line 76:

$id=$_GET['id'];

here is the first could of which I get my id:

  <?php
echo "<dl>";
echo "<dt width = 200 id=\"label\">"."SSA"."</dt>";
echo "<dd align='right'>";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT ssa.first_name,ssa.SSA_ID
FROM staffing_specialist_asst ssa
left join jo_partner jp on jp.SSA_ID = ssa.SSA_ID 
 group by first_name") or die(mysql_error());
$dropdown = "<select name=\"SSA_ID\" style=\"position:relative; left:-51px;\">\n";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['SSA_ID']}'>{$row['first_name']}</option>";
}
$dropdown .= "\r\n</select>";

echo $dropdown;
echo "</dd>";
echo "</dl>";
?>

and the second code where line 76 is found:

<?php

$id=$_GET['id'];

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $datefrom = $_POST['timestamp'];
    $dateto = $_POST['timestamp1'];

    //echo $option;


    $_SESSION['datefrom'] = $datefrom;
    $_SESSION['dateto'] = $dateto;



    if(( $datefrom == NULL) || ($dateto == NULL)){
        echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'> confirmationError() ;</SCRIPT>";
        exit();

    }


$final =("SELECT distinct jp.receivedDate as rDate, ssa.first_name as saFName, ssa.last_name as saLName,job.client_order_number as joNum,
        job.job_order_type as joType, job.job_title as joTitle, cl.name as clientName

and ssa.SSA_ID='$id'

order by jp.receivedDate asc");

echo $final;

$query = mysql_query($final);

echo "<table>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    $rDate = $row['rDate'];
    $saFName = $row['saFName'];
    $saLName = $row['saLName'];
    $joNum = $row['joNum'];
    $joType = $row['joType'];
    $joTitle = $row['joTitle'];
    $clientName = $row['clientName'];
    $ssFName = $row['ssFName'];
    $ssLName = $row['ssLName'];
    $aDate = $row['aDate'];
    $stat = $row['stat'];

    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$rDate."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$saFName."".$saLName."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$joNum."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$joType."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$joTitle."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$clientName."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$ssFName."".$ssLName."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$aDate."</td>";
    echo "<td width='150' colspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">".$stat."</td>";
    echo "</tr>";

}

echo "</table>";

}

?>

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions and help.

Answer 1

$_GET['id'] expected the get variable ‘id’ in the url (i.e. www.google.com?id=4 then $_GET['id'] would equal 4).

In order to avoid this you could do this before checking the get value if (! empty($_GET)) {$id = $_GET['id']}

EDIT: The actual error ended up being the assumption of needing to use $_GET instead of the possibility of $_POST for form data.
